Marloth the Break ... April 2018

Many of the long-billed visitors. The yellow-billed stork is good material for pics The green-backed heron always looks as if it's about to fall into the water

Looks quite cloudy and cool, Rog?

A successful fisherbird!

And rhino!

it is always a bit damp whenever we go in April/May times

Nice pic of the Green-backed Heron.

it was fishing right in front of us.

the Yellow-bill fishing was very interesting to watch how it corralled the fish with its wings .

So after some stripped horses we came across more ancient unicorns ...


And then suddenly movement in the distance orange spots could it be ..yes we had found the S128 Cheetahs again






We had them to ourselves for a while but eventually another bakkie arrived luckily they were friendly and shared the road while we followed them


Shortly they left the road and climbed up on a dead tree to look around .Spotting their next destination they went off into the bush .


The only other sighting on the road was this Kori bustard

Lovely stuff, Rog!

So nice to see stuff by yourself!

[Lisbeth]

Great cheetah sighting

Petty theft one can handle, but it develops, however in Marloth’s case I believe that the security has gotten better over the years

Nice start in the park though

Wow, fantastic cheetah sighting on the S128

Great pics as per normal

Security has improved but there are the odd times when there is a spike in thefts .

I cant remember the exact route we took after the sighting I suspect it was the S30 then H4 we gradually made our way around towards Sunset dam on the route.We found another Monitor along the way


This old Fellow was browsing after having a mud bath


We found out where the Squirrel was hiding his nuts


and this juvenile was drying off after a shower


We found a two headed crocodile


This Giraffe had a odd looking growth on its face


and finished up at Sunset dam where some Fish eagles had arrived to hunt for their Lunch


After the days success we had to leave to get back to Marloth earlier as we had run out of Gas at the house and had to get to the hardware to order a new bottle .So we drove down the main tar road and did not spot another animal on the way out
