A great selection, Sparky!

Very brown already at Marloth too.

Today I will only be posting bird pics, mainly Vultures. The reason for this is that a female Kudu died next to the house, apparently due to a disease of sorts, and this had hundreds of Vultures around the house for a few days.

On Friday evening I got this Fiery-necked Nightjar in the road (no flash used, just car headlights and ISO bumped up to 25600)...

Yesterday morning, apart from Vultures, there was an abundance of other bird life, here is a Puffback...

Yesterday there were more Vultures here than what I can recall seeing together before. Loads at the carcass and others like these waiting their turn in the trees around the house...

Even a Tawny Eagle grabbed a piece of carrion and ate it up in the tree. It's great to see these birds at eye level from the kitchen window...

Very cool nightjar

We can even see the rictal bristles

Is it somewhat smelly around your house?

The nightjar $\O$

It must have been a great show to watch
