Meanwhile we reached the turn off into the S137 which we took and there lots of white backed vultures, yellow weavers,
European rollers
as well as kudus crossed out path.
We for sure stayed until also the last one crossed the street and it definitely did not take long until the high grass absorbed them.
What a wonderful morning so far again and that lion sighting compensated us a bit for the lack of animals on the S28 that morning but whilst driving now finally into the directing of the earlier existing dam we had to stop again as a kori bustard came across and for sure we had to stop for that bird to take some shots
whilst the passengers in the car who made us first aware of the lions came back from the dam and they wanted to know whether the lions are still there and unfortunately I had to tell them that they meanwhile were gone.
We pointed instead the kori out to them who was also enthusiastically been photographed by them.
Gladly there the grass was not that high and consequently same allowed a couple of wonderful shots. Meanwhile also more zebras joined the lone one and the wildebeests and we also finally made it to the dam where we stopped a while and enjoyed the silence there.
In that area it must have rained only recently heavily as still large puddles were existing and it was still very muddy. Gladly a grader stood already on hand to grade the street and also at the previous dam a couple of construction vehicles could be seen. On this 2 km stretch to the dam the animal activity was extreme good and it is always worth to drive this little detour.
Lots of wattled starling also flew from bush to bush even as much as the red billed queleas
another wonderful bird sighting on that road was a red crested korhaan who stood on a sandlhill –
gladly for us as otherwise same could not have been seen -
to be continued...
Only there was a stupid bush in the wrong place
