We had more visitors during the day
This baby kudu was all ears trying to listen what we were saying
On the other side of the river we saw this eagle in a tree. I think it's either a buzzard or hawk
Can you spot him
This side of the river we noticed this vulture enjoying the sun. Hooded vulture
Then the very friendly cleaning guy that was busy next door asked me if we saw the owl in the tree. He dropped everything and said follow me
He walked straight to the tree and showed us the owl. It's not the best picture but at least one can see the owl. African Scops owl
ID again please
Next episode: Leopard vs Buffalo

The raptor is very difficult to see, but from the colours I'd say Juvenile African Fish-Eagle
Yes, the vulture is the hooded one
The owl is a southern white-faced owl
Cute little kudu

Not

Next time take a proper photo
