I see now...it is Dwarf sitting in front of Destroyer!

Natal francolins can also be seen at the road verges approaching the bridge, along with their chicks.

Cute!

Driving from Bateleur camp to Shingwedzi one day we saw a blur darting across the road in front of us. This was not far from the turn off to the river side drive on the approach to camp.

It was a leopard on the hunt. Stalking a small herd of impala.
She kept low in the long grass, sometimes disappearing from view as she inched closer.
She was superbly camouflaged with her surroundings.
And melted through the grass, slowly getting closer & closer to the unsuspecting antelope.
She put each paw down gingerly in turn, testing the ground for anything that would make a noise and give her presence away.
We last saw her as she went into deep cover.
A few minutes later we heard the alarm snort of impala and saw shapes bounding away through the thick bush.

Exciting stuff!

Grand!

Hey, does Lamont windmill fit into the area?

If you look at the map, Lamont is Xhere.

Thank you Dewi with this new flavour

A couple of views looking South from the bridge.
