Flutts and the Brat go it alone

"nigh heron"...

[Lisbeth]

A Lizard Buzzard

The bird with the eyes sticking out that I posted in the "Funny Photos" topic is a juv. black-crowned night-heron. I have never seen another one after that one 10 or more years ago.

Rattling cisticola sounds about right

At least you got a lion face.....more or less

[Mel]

Always nice to have lions walking in the road first thing in the morning

Nice birdies

[Bushcraft]

Lions to start the day , the ice bucket curse never got you guys

Black Crowned Night Heron Never seen that model

[Richprins]

And it looks like you lost some weight, RP?
Maybe the leftovers are not sufficient to feed you properly...

Deceptive, Mello! All the weight is in the front now...

Cheetah with cubs even far away, but very special. I've never seen a Senegal Lapwing , the Sable sighting and Y-B stork "shadow fishing" are also special.

The frosting on the cake, however, was obviously your evening with RP.
Just a question - who gets to join you next trip, Dad or RP?
You have a right to remain silent.

WoW to your brilliant bird shots, Flutterby,

especially the lizard buzzard and the Black Crowned Night Heron and even so close

Very well done

Another traffic jam in the circus

Love that black crowned night heron

Thanks Alf.

Not a great lion sighting, but lions nonetheless!

Yes, I love coming around a corner and seeing a lion in the road!

Black Crowned Night Heron Never seen that model

That's why we didn't touch the ice bucket!

Cheetah are always a special surprise. I choose to remain silent!

Thanks Pumbaa, always nice to find a new bird.

12 June, Croc Bridge & Lower Sabie

At Lubyelubye we had a good look for the leopard but not luck. There were lots of Little Bee-eaters around though.

We did the S79 causeway but it was quiet as was the rest of the H4-1. We crossed over the high-level bridge and got onto the S30 Salitje Road, which also didn't reveal much.

A tranquil scene at one of the river loops.

We decided to pop into Lower Sabie for something to eat at Mugg and Bean. While waiting for our food I went looking for the resident Barn Owl and found it. Unfortunately I only had the point and shoot with me, so didn't get a great pic, but it was another first for me in Kruger!

Heading back to Croc Bridge we came across a peaceful herd of ellies that were watching over their sleeping babies!!

A pretty river scene

I have never seen a little bee-eater

Four hornbills going to a funeral They are such funny birds, without knowing it

Also the barn owls are not kidding They are quite small, which is difficult to make out in a photo.
