And then the rain set in or at dusk the bush comes alive

Lovely birds....again

The tinyphant also caught my eye, but the birds are superb!

Lucky Friday for pics today!

So many lovely pics! What a beautiful morning in the bush.

The morning started not that bad and the day itself was wonderful as well

And this year with far more sunshine all over the trip also on the days when it rained torrentially - The sun always came out as well

A herd of elephants could also be seen in the background





and so we simply had a great time in watching and photographing the come and go





It was as if all the zebras in that area had a meeting at this spot as it felt as if more and more were joining the others.





Occasionally we also spotted a couple of wildebeests between them but we finally started to see only black and white because so many zebras were around.

In a close by bush we spotted a movement and discovered another tchagra



and along the road a troop of baboons who jockeyed for the best spot to sit on



and needless to say that the boss chased all the others away.



We managed to take some close ups



and the younger ones decided to clamber other or better to say smaller branches



whilst others decided to play hide and seek.





Finally we arrived at Duke’s and must say that we never say that waterhole so full as this year and it took not that long until we spotted a yellow breasted bunting



and two knob billed ducks had already a chat on top of a branch.



Another lovely sighting was then a couple of blue waxbills who were busy in presenting to the interested ones the best blade of grass ever.



to be continued.....

Love the pic of the waxbill.

Lucky Friday again!

There is meant to be a small zebra/wildebeest migration from the central district to the Sabie river every spring, but it has watered down some years...

Grand zebra and bird pics, Pumbaa!
