Daily Synopsis
So after all my promising of getting the blog back up to
date, I failed! Even this isn’t a full
post, but rather just photos of some of the sightings I have enjoyed over the last
few days...Andrea will be blogging the next couple of days, but will catch you
again soon!
Some the many, many zebras around at the moment...so great to see them in the reserve again |
Small breeding herd of elephant on Piva Plains |
Zebras on Sohebele Plains |
Spent quite a bit of time with this pack of 14 wild dogs one afternoon as they set off on the hunt, but sadly they didnt have any luck before it got dark and we left them |
Another stunning sunrise as the baboons wake up at Argyle Dam |
Once again, impalas, giraffes and zebras were quite common across most of the reserve |
Petros managed to track down these three rhinos for us in the morning |
Java Airstrip continues to be a hub of activity - this morning there were 24 wildebeest and 16 zebras...the giraffes were absent though....... |
Buffalos have been extremely scarce the last few days...although fresh droppings and tracks for buffalo bulls have been around, finding them was a whole different story! |
....until the afternoon that was! Then about 20 giraffes, the wildebeest, zebras, impalas and warthogs were all out on the airstrip making for a magic scene |
Im still waiting to see the two new cubs, so these ones will have to do for now! |
Early morning impala exercise |
Loads of vultures gathered in the north close to where an impala carcass had been found yesterday |
An African Crake - a first for me at Motswari |
Martial Eagle |
Rockfig Jnr leopardess - good to see her spending more time in the northern parts of her territory again! |
What an awesome photographic adventure. Amazing pictures. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteAmazing photos!! Thanks so much for sharing. Hope you're feeling better.
ReplyDeleteI was hoping for a pic of the unknown leopard in case it was one that had moved on from the Sabi Sands.
ReplyDeleteLike your blog, but the pictures are worth a thousand words! Fabulous!
