We eat early, Jacques will come and present his family, his wife and two daughters. They are cute. They only speak Afrikaans, the largest, will play with our little neighbor.
I escort them to the village staff, that I know, I often went to Jannie ... at the entrance, but never at the end of the village, after several fences and by night 0*\
I leave them to regret, I light their way in the grass before leaving.
The galley, the return, I must find the way, I get lost, come back, finally I recognize the garage and everything becomes easy =O:

13.11.2014

Starting around 7am for Auob River, and again the chance of "falling" on Falcons, Lanner and Pygmy and Black-shouldered Kite.
Then what I identify as a Gabar Goshawk, another person arrives and is telling us that it's a Little-banded Goshawk or Shikra. But an adult Shikra has red eyes and yellow legs while Gabar Goshawk has a two-tone chest (one with no striped) and red legs.
So I stand by my position 0'
Meanwhile a Bateleur is flying high in the sky and a Tawny Eagle as well.
We stop at the nest ... the little owl is invisible :-(

We observe for a long time Mongooses, a red and a yellow who fight for their territory O-/
The red is much more aggressive and she rejects her rival ... on the other side of the river bed ;-)

A little further, in a large "gouille" Two Red-billed Ducks, rather unexpected observation O/\
Then Giraffes, two young males who are testing each other.

And again a Gabar Goshawk, but this time the rarely seen melanistic. Too bad, it remains under the branches and the light is really insufficient 0*\

A PCG ashore collecting building material ... still the effects of spring lol
At the end of a loop, an Oryx is drinking in a puddle of recent rains, while the Springboks are still warming up in the sun.
