Browns in Kruger April 2017

[Bushcraft]

The dogs had moved and one could only see them now while crossing the weir, but some gave the impression that any greeting ritual was a long time away.


Nice prancing about and advertising! Hilarious too!

Astounding doggies, much better than leopard! Put them up here? https://africawild-forum.com/viewtopic.p ... 5&start=40

Very good this, but I don't know why it is relevant that the rugby lovers were Afrikaans? You are just as prejudiced as leachy...

Ja, I got fit that afternoon. Some aunties must also be confused because I hung my teeth out at 2 potential candidates thinking they were Mel.

Leopard way better than the dogs Although 1 dog sighting this trip did give me the same "hype" as a moving leopard

I didn't say anyone was Afrikaans I said that the commentary was in Afrikaans This is relevant because I couldn't follow it all at pace, but agreed commentary in any language at Biyamiti would irritate You already greased me for this at Satara Do you remember

[Bushcraft]

it seems the Fish Eagle is a local there or I made a mistake... superb
like the Hooded Vulture
love the little Elephant
and the cute Squirrel

Yes, that fish eagle, or a fish eagle, always seems to in or near the weir area

That vulture was in a tree right next to the road just above "car height" and didn't seem to be disturbed by us at all

WoW Bushcraft, you moved ahead quite quickly

but I must say your sighting are as good as normally known from you - leopards around each corner plus lions and lot of other good stuff such as the wild dogs

Brilliant shots as well

Ready for more

We did battle this trip Flutts, but ended up spotting a few leopard , however it was a mission to find a few of them and 1 day we never got 1 which is a crisis for me

You missed leopard on only ONE day???!! You would have been in major crisis mode on our trip then!!

Wow, your girls have also grown up so much...they are lovely!

Would loved to have seen you prancing around Biyamiti in your AW shirts!

Pumbaa. Yes I always move at pace with TT's as work and life is hectically busy most of the time I'm not sure about the brilliant shots We try, but thanks

Ja, we missed leopard for a day, nearly 2, so I was getting a pelican Yes, the rats aren't really "rats" anymore Boyfriends are even pulling in

That prancing around was rather embarrassing when I think about it as Mel wasn't even there and other guests must have wondered what we were doing, especially since I was hanging my teeth out at potential candidates

9th Biyamiti to Satara

My morning slow wake up got abruptly interrupted by Hawkeyes wailing

“DAD! There’s a spider in the shower!”

The only insect I can’t handle is a giant spider, so I pushed the Cow forward, however she only backpedalled, therefore I attacked by throwing a bath towel over it and then roared off to shake it outside.

Just outside camp the Cow spotted a Pearls Owlet and then the local hyena clan popped up.





The rest of the S25 produced a pied having breakfast, some zebra, buffalo and a few more locals.







The H4-2 and H4-1 were also relatively quiet, but we did stop for a few amusing boons just before the H12 Bridge and a bee-eater which got the Cow excited.





We found some lion off the H1-2 and I was amazed that there were no other cars around, so they must have just moved into the riverbed and then we stopped again at Leeupan for a fish eagle and a young ellie giving himself a shower.







We stopped briefly at Tshokwane and my pelican increased when looking at the sighting board because it seemed very quiet on the H1-3. We grabbed some snacks from the shop which involved me counting to 100 as some people in the queue changed their minds 10 times and the teller got confused so I started chirping but the Cow shut me up with a glare.

The next time we stopped for more than 10 seconds was Kumana Dam as a surprise lioness had cruised out into the open.
