A Hot-diggity Dog Flutter!

The one hooded vulture is clever keeping the balance

Nice yellow-fronted canary The pic of the Green-backed Camaroptera a bit less, but a great find

The vervet looks as if it was born like that I wonder how it is doing in the trees

Really love your bird sightings, Flutterby,

especially the marico sunbird and the Green-backed Camaroptera

The ones from Sunset dam are brilliant as well - We do see often that behaviour of the yellow-billed stork either it is a hunting tactic or simply to use the wing as sunshade - I love when they do it

Very dry indeed

the Bateleur captured a Baboon

like the Domino game

My fav are the rosemary cookies


But you made some birding effort, that deserves some , too

Crisp pics again, Flutts!

Never seen a black duck!

Wonder how the bateleur got a baby baboon...very curious, as they often just scavenge...

Thanks Lis...that pic of the Camaroptera caused lots of scratches!

Not sure Lis, but he looked agile enough.

Thanks Pumbaa. Watching that stork was very entertaining.

I thought so too Toks! The crackers were yummy with a bit of cheese!

Thanks RP. Maybe the baboon was already dead.

Skukuza/Lower Sabie Area

For our afternoon drive we headed down to Renosterkoppies waterhole on the S114 as lions had been there in the morning. There were no lions but lots of giraffe and some dagga boys, who were later joined by warthogs, kudu and baboons.









We couldn't see the lions but we were sure they were hiding somewhere nearby as the giraffe were very skittish and kept staring in the same direction. While waiting and hoping for the lions to appear a game ranger arrived, got out of his vehicle and then approached all 3 vehicles that were parked there. He informed us that he had some American students with him who were going to set up a camera trap at the waterhole and apologised for any inconvenience.





This buff was very interested in these developments...



...and the ranger kept a watchful eye on him!
