We are going to Craig Lockardt where there is nothing special, not even the local Falcon.
By cons, we missed the mini Owl that nests in hole of the big tree ... he had to sleep and be invisible ...
and Enrico saw them
Enrico photos, thank you very much Enrico, for allowing to post them
Pearl-spotted Owlet junior
mum calling
they must have left shame

A beautiful Tawny Eagle stand, at hand, as well as an African Hoopoe.
Tawny Eagle/Aigle ravisseur
We take the shortcut loop and again passengers are out of their car ... close to Giraffes, drinking from a puddle. I think they do not realize how dangerous a group of giraffes. They can kill a Lions with one foot
passager out... of the car

13th ... 14th ... a Waxbill mixed with Scaly-feathered Finch steal from the little tree to the water and vice versa. In the pond a Secretary just finished his bath, he is very disheveled

A short distance, Spotted Thick-knees's chicks hatched, their parents stand a little apart. Again one can admire the magnificent camouflage

Again splendid Agamas, in emergency they drop to the ground, so you have to be fast for the photos.

A Black-chested Snake Eagle does the sentry on top of a large tree
Back at camp we look for the small Owlet
Tonight ... last braai, mash potatoes and beef fillet. Hard-hard to be arrived near the end of our trip
Going to return our license, they ask us if we can convey a girl to Upington. No problem, we'll arrange to give him a place. See you tomorrow at 10am.

Re: The return - second part
14/15.11.2015 – Upington – Brown Manor
14.11.2015
Last day ... last hours in the park, I'm sad ... we have to return to the "civilized" life and especially in the cold of Europe
Once again an outing "birds," the hairy predators continue to hide. Two "mustache" (Scaly-feathered Finch) friends ? couple ?
hard to tell, females and males are identical,
Scaly-feathered Finch/Sporopipe squameux
with self defence... against falcon or others

Re: The return - second part
and still a predator ... feathered,, a Lanner Falcon grabbed what I think to be a bird, coveted by another Lanner.
There is a little fight.
