Well, I went on drive this morning. Slightly overcast in the beginning and then it cleared up, but most of the animals were hidden so deeply from the wind, they didn't realise the wind had stopped.
After a fair amount of driving, I got these rutting Impala rams. Not seeing much, I decided to spend some time with them. Here are a few shots of them working out who is the dominant one...

Slowly the sun started breaking through in patches between the clouds.
I had to sit and wait and wait, for this Brown-crowned Tchagra to keep still for a few seconds. When he did, the view was not completely clear...
This little Zebra twisted himself around and looked weird...
This time, due to lockdown rationing, a single Klippie on the rocks...
To end, another croc near the water at the house...
Until next time, from the croc infested banks of the Olifants...
