The trade mark down in the corner is much better than the "Sprocky" in the middle of the photo

Re: Grietjie Private Reserve
Thank you, one and all. 
After a busy day yesterday in front of the computer, I went out on drive this morning.
The first animal that I saw, was this old left handed Elephant bull...
There must be a kill in the area as there were a lot of Vultures in the trees. I couldn't see any signs of a kill through the dense bush, but I thought this was quite picturesque...
Now this is when I get confused. Some Francolins had their name changed to Spurfowl. The Crested Francolin was not one of them, but you can clearly see the spur...??
This Bateleur looks like it shoved it's talons into an electric socket...
More to follow...

Sometimes it’s not until you don’t see what you want to see, that you truly open your eyes.

Sometimes those juvenile bateleurs have a very funny look

Re: Grietjie Private Reserve
It seems as if the rutting season has taken it's toll on this ram...
A Giant Plated Lizard warming up in the sun after a coolish night...
A White-backed Vulture going is search of a thermal...
A quick stop at the river before going to the house, a HUGE Crocodile was also enjoying the sun...
That's it for now, until next time...
