Kruger's Motley Crew

[Richprins]

I will be happy to post something in the Photography section at some point about making the "postcards" - not sure exactly what you mean however. The borders around the pics, or the collages?

Both, Ex!

These pics are astounding!

Love the Eskom Bird especially, never seen one!

[Pumbaa]

Awesome shots of the black heron, ExFmem,

I still have to find my very first one

Love the hammerkop also very much

[ExFmem]

Thanks for keeping me company during this TT nan, Sis, Mel, RP, and Pumbaa.

I didn't realize the Black Heron was not seen very often, even by regular visitors to Kruger. I feel even more lucky to have been in the right place at the right moment.

Sis, as far as getting them "doing something", I just try to be patient, but it doesn't always pay off, of course.

....finishing with the H entries

HIPPOS

Will start and finish the hippos with pics taken at Sunset Dam - A.M.

superb pic of the Hyppo and... again Oxpeckers

[Mel]

The first hippo shot is !

Did the other two just play around a bit or were they in fighting mode?

Honey badger

Great shots of the hornbills and the hyena is still at an age were I consider it cute

[Lisbeth]

A honey Badger outside a camp

Great hornbill pics I have a preference for the grey one...it is dressed so stylish, the ground hornbill is rather vulgar

Nice little hyena

[Richprins]

Very good again, Ex!

Methinks you took quite a few pics!

Love the hippos.
