All those swallow/swifts etc. are almost impossible to catch. You have to be not only clever, but also lucky ;-)

This is the last spot with Reliable Cellphone connection until one hits Punda, so we always stop here at length on the way to the Far North! :-0
But we have normally had quite a few teas by that stage of the afternoon...one time in 2010 we were having such a good time that we left the bridge with one of the Dimwits' priceless Zeiss binoculars on the roof...never saw it again! :o0ps: :no: :-(

Anyway, near the bridge on the same trip:

Nice Ellies there RP. \O

Just over the bridge, we turned onto the Lamont Loop and a few hundred metres up the track, found this slithering across the road.
