Vultures
At Cubitje Quap I also found a lot of Vultures… and 3 or 4 Secretaries Birds and it was not easy to share with Gnus. Always impressive to see these big scavengers
Here some White-backed Vulture/Vautour africain
Most of them are nesting, near Urikaruus, almost all the trees are occupied

Re: An eventful trip... to Kgalagadi
At Kij Kij, wow the biggest Vulture, Lappet-faced Vulture/Vautour oricou, made its show
the Ostich in the back seems to be... tiny
it has a drink, chase a Crow or two, then ran several meters and took off
not easy for a so heavy bird

At Urikaruus, this Gnu, came to drink and took the opportunity to do a "makeup" ... the result is convincing ......

Re: An eventful trip... to Kgalagadi
Cute little bokkies! Awww...
Those mice at Grootkolk always came by to prey on some morsels...
Even the sociable weavers and a familar chat. They always sat on the
ground when we were eating. The weavers even hopped onto our table.
SO was not amused.

God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.
