Explored roads: H1-4 – S90 – S41 – S100 – H1-4 – H7 – S12 – S40 – H7 – H1-4
Unfortunately our last full day in Satara dawned as to leave this area is indeed very hard for us but luckily we still had a couple of days ahead of us in the Northern part of the park so we wanted to make the best out of this day and took it slow to simply enjoy everything the best way.
A flock of birds were also up and around
and today we wanted to drive North and give the S90 as well as S41 from this side another try but already on the tar road we were held up as a couple of verreaux giant eagle owls plus a youngster had put a show together
as the youngster was begging constantly for food
but not long and the one of the parents who had been bugged simply flew away higher into the tree whereas the other adult eagle owl was calling from farer away
and so the juvenile was not happy to be left behind unnoticed.
Same decided then to fly to another far smaller bush on which same landed
but had to struggle with the small branches which did not offer a good landing place as the branches were far too thin to carry the owl and same was balancing on the small bush not to fell down
but finally same sat still enough
and we also finally discovered again the adult owl who flew a bit farer away on the other side of the road and finally also the youngster took off and we were not able to find same again.
It was in fact such a nice sighting and obviously a good omen as during our last trip we also spotted a couple of these owls on our very last day whilst staying in Satara. Soon we turned into the S90 where masses of starlings were blocking the road and whilst we carried on they took off only to land a bit further down on the road again.
The rest was quiet or simply the grass too high but whilst crossing one of our beloved causeways a green backed heron were looking into each direction whilst sitting on a branch
and posed like mad and luckily kept on sitting on that branch although we stood not far from the heron
after we got our shots we continued but the heron kept on sitting on the branch.
You certainly have had an "alphabet soup" of sightings, from Amur falcons to Zebras. The poor little owl looking so forlorn is adorable 
, what a great sighting as well.
