It must have been the infamous flycatcher catcher sneaking from stoep to stoep stealing the little birds :twisted:

Flutters, this one was quite far, but there is one that we hear every night. My one neighbour photographed it walking right next to his house two nights ago. O:V

Time for more pics. I took a drive again this morning, but couldn't find the Leopard. I did however have another awesome sighting. :-)

First up, a Crested Francolin portrait...

Now for my lifer, also a juvenile, which is great news as mom and dad must be in the area. Not a great shot as it was far away, but here is my African Finfoot... O/\ O\/
