Unfortunately not, I need one where the breast is visible. The white collar shows well though and there is also a kind of white on the back :-?

We'll need an expert here O**

You managed good photos of all the animals you spotted ^Q^

Owl watching is cool! Did the owl come for a drink or was it hunting there on the ground?

Looked like they were hunting they would come down from the tree to the edge of the dry riverbank then swoop down into the river bank .Was too dark and far away to make out what they were swooping onto .

The next morning the plan was to travel to Letaba to try meet up with forum members ,go to Phalaborwa to get some supplies at pharmacy and shops then come back to camp.

Driving the H7 we saw some Hyenas and then saw they had a den by the turnoff to the S12. We spent quite some time enjoying their antics .

Image

This one was teasing the others over the precious stick it was guarding
Image

Curious sam...
Image

Yes it was back again and still no face to the tail 0*\

Image

Just after leaving the Timbavati picnic spot a black mamba crossed the road quckly
Image

At Ratel pan a tree frog was hiding .
Image

The Crocs were sunbathing but not much was moving about
Image

We were traveling along when rugrat shouts out stop go back there is something there .We looked and scanned and looked and eventually got this shot of a shy Monitor inside the tree stump ... well spotted .
Image

The view on the bridge was peaceful and we spent quite a bit of time just enjoying the view .
Image

We spent some time watching this Elle gently pushing on the trees then removing the greenest shoots at the base .
Image

We carried into Letaba but could not make contact with the members .We visited the Elephant hall museum but did not find it as enjoyable since the upgrade O** .We did find the craziest squirrel ever it was sitting on top of a pole screaming at all who passed by close to the restaurant ..

Image

We left to get to Phalaborwa ...
