Marloth the Break ... April 2018

[RogerFraser]

For the drive we entered at Croc bridge and went along the S25 our first sighting was a five legged elephant bull



A bit further along the road we watched the Martial eagle drinking at the water hole






Some Geese were having a bath of sorts in the water as well


We came across some Vultures and then notice a large gathering on the river bank but we could not find a clear patch to see what they were all gathered to eat




We turned up the H5 and found this Zebra who was playing King of the castle with the others it was quite a bit of fun to watch .


and this youngster that decided that mom was a good pillow



We carried on towards Lower Sabie and Sunset Dam

We arrived at Sunset dam and found this log floating around :



A kingfisher was watching the water


A heron was checking the reeds


The kingfisher saw something and hovered then dived in and flew off


We left and stopped in at Lower Sabie to refresh .We decided to drive down the S28 on the way out .

Along the way we found some paws sticking in the air


We did not have time to wait to see if the flat cats would become mobile as it was getting late so carried on and got to take a photo of the front of the roller


We found some more young Gnu's


And a lovely roadblock sighting




And also watched these two with their entourage of Egrit followers


We joined the queue of cars leaving the gate and got through just at closing time ...
