Shortly before the 14th a Brown Snake Eagle plunges on a prey, a few meters from me :shock:
The fight is rough and I end up seeing a snake that he vainly attempts to control and especially to hide it :yes:
Finally he can eat it, it seems to be a Mole Snake.

There are still Yellow-billed Kites.
I can't stay the time I would like, "only" about a hour 0*\
And in Batulama there are Lions... not so far from the Cheetahs and the ladies out of the car :evil:
A Martial Eagle also gratifies me of his presence.

On the Larks's hill nothing this time and before going down the hill, I let a group of Gnus pass, they must come from Houmoed and move dangerously towards the Lions and Cheetahs :shock:
Again, I can't stay too long.

They arrive late, and I have time to recharge all my hardware, to empty the memory cards, to load them into two external hard drives ... one is never too careful
\O
They bring an incredible amount of food, as if I were a colony all by only myself .... ;-)
And that I had eaten nothing during those past weeks =O:
I got the key to chalet No 26, a bit cramped for a couple and me. We eat inside, a little rain is invited at the time of the braai 0*\
