[JustN@ture]

Great insert BushBrat, don't keep us waiting too long now

[Bush Brat]

I hardly watch American TV programmes..my mistake was probably just due to tiredness - which is what I have had a lot of lately, that is why I keep you waiting so long! REALLY DO APOLOGISE! Thanks for all the compliments and comments in our BLACK rhino! I was insisting that it was a black rhino but our elders know better!!

An ellie to start the day off

Egyptian geese having a go at each other, also at Sunset Dam



Two ellies having a real ball in the mud!



A dung beetle rolling dung across the middle of the road, we actually stopped for the whole duration of its rolling the dung just to make sure no one rode over it!



Some more ellies

Great stuff BB. Love the first ellie pic.

Those plovers are smart looking birds. Great shot of it.

Can't wait to find out about your sunset drive sighting.
