Great all round sightings and shots AN
Nice to see a denhams bustard so close
The ellies seem to prefer other waterholes to Hapoor at the moment... no idea why

For popping into the TT and commenting

Gee - I must have been smoking something early morning

Thank you for the correction

Maybe with the 'correct name' of the bustard - you have seen it

Also for the correction of the bustard's name
We were super lucky with Ellie sightings this time

They can be there, but at times they just melt into the bush and one does not see them
