Re: Looking back *

Post by flying cheetah »

I will start to post some of the pics of my November trip during the next weeks here.
The first pic shows an animal that I never expected to find in Kruger: a crab :-) I saw this specimen walking a few km 's outside Pretoriuskop but I have no idea why he was there or where he was coming from...

Hello, fc! X#X

Most freshwater bodies here have crabs, a constant irritation for fishermen!

(Hope that came out right...)

As with many amphibious inhabitants, they may move to replenished pans/streams after rains! \O

I decided to start a new thread to report about the best sightings of my last November trip.
Thank you Richprins for your infos about the crab, I didn't know that before and was very surprised about this sighting.

For today I have a pic of a Ground Hornbill that was resting on top of a dead tree in the middle of a rainy day. Unfortunetely I didn't see many of them this time.

Nice, fc, and thanks! X#X


The hornbill is hanging its white primaries out to dry a bit...in fact they make a great pic when in flight, which is not often! :shock:

Wonder why they are white? Maybe some alarm thing?

Now for a pic of dup! =O: =O: =O:
