A Hot-diggity Dog Flutter!

Lower Sabie

We were up at 5am bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, ready for action. We got to the gate at 5.58am, so only had to wait 2 minutes to get out of camp.

This morning we were heading down the H4-2 to Croc Bridge, along the S25 for a bit, then up to the H5 and back up the H4-2.

"Morning has broken, Blackbird has spoken".



A sleepy-looking ellie.

This cow had a backwards tusk!



A majestic Martial!



The H4-2 was very quiet so it didn't take too long to get down to Croc Bridge and onto the S25. At the turn-off to Hippo Pools we came across a handsome pair of African Hawk-eagles.

A cute squirrel for Lis.

The H5 was empty except for this lone giraffe.



Hopefully the H4-2 would have woken up by now and reveal something special.

Just catching up again.......

It's always great to be back in the bush

Wow! The fancy cameras are really paying off, Flutts and Brat!

Those hawk eagles in pairs again...what is it with them?

[Mel]

The photos are really good! And I certainly like the variety of birds being on display

Poor ellie with the backwards pointing tuskers

The lone giraffe makes for a good Kruger photo!

More great pics Flutt's & BB.

Love all your eagle ones.

Great White Egrets have a gape that extends beyond the back of the eye by 10mm. In Yellow-billed the gape just reaches the eye. Yellow-billed are only just larger than Little Egrets in size.

Thanks Mel. The ellie didn't seem handicapped in anyway.

Thanks Dewi, for your lovely comments and your explanation!
