Meanwhile, at waterhole, two Kori Bustards are trying to push away the Springboks who would like to drink. And they do, all feathers out, running after younger, the show is hilarious

Magnificent entrance in to Urikaruus, it's promising

Later in the evening, a leopard , "one" told me that it is Barolong ... but who is none other than Tsamma.
What luck, already a Leopard

Tsamma almost -O

And then there are a lot of weird noise in the room and I am sure that one observes me at night ... behind the curtains

[Mel]

Who told you it was Barolong? Jacques? Honestly, I can't remember
all of that exactly anymore because it was a mayhem when the leopard
showed. -O

I think, I gave the wildebeests a miss

[nan]

yes, it was jacques
ma too, I run on the camera, the lamp... the door, Jacques was behind... and the Leopard comes under the balcony... a Capernaum
and everybody in slip

Mata Mata et retour

6:30, I gently prepare myself, a coffee to wake me, I'm never in a hurry.
This is not the time that makes the good sightings ... but "right place/right time" and just at that moment a large bird landed at waterhole, WOW is a Giant Eagle Owl (Verreaux's Eagle Owl)...
I tried a few photos, it is still too dark ... but I follow it with the eyes, where it flies to try to find it, a little later
It is here, in one of the tall trees alongside the cabins

Verreaux's Eagle Owl/Grand duc africain






and you Mel

Mel stayed home, Steph went to Twee Rivieren and me to Mata Mata
