By far not as beautiful as your captures, PJL, but a special sighting for me after a very quiet day in the Kgalagadi. :-0

Seen at Urikaruus waterhole on 31/10/2014 around 9.30 pm


God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.

Addo is certainly one of the better places to see them Flutts \O
But sightings of them can be very sporadic. I saw one about a year ago, then none for ages... and now 3 in the last 3 visits :shock:
