I've got a feeling of a hot summer in Kruger

Wow! What a ball of different birdies I have never seen a red-faced mousebird

It took also for us a couple of trips until we noticed them but now we do see they regularly at least once - They are not easy to capture

We had such fun in watching same posing with the grass

[Pumbaa]

We still stayed quite a while at Matjulu but as it got quiet birdwise we carried on and unfortunately when Timon had the camera ready that brown snake eagle was about to take off



but to our luck we detected a group of four rhinos after we did not find any rhino last year



indeed it was a strange sighting seeing them dehorned



but when same is protecting them a more than good solution.



Overall it got quiet and it was already extreme hot although it was still early morning – Along the tar road we stopped for a nicely posing birdie



and for a couple of yellow billed hornbills



and then we already turned into the road leading us to Renosterpan where we soon noticed a muddy warthog



and in one of the bushes a lovely steppe buzzard who far too soon took off.



Lots of white faced ducks were around as well and it looked as if they had an extensive chat

[Pumbaa]

luckily for us the warthog did not run away as they can sometimes be a bit shy



but this one was even willing to take a mud bath in a smaller wallow.



At least there was a bit activity to be watched either from the white faced ducks



or from the warthog





or from both together.



After the Egyptian geese kept in the beginning a bit hidden now they even presented their offspring and after a while which we spent there all alone we carried on and enjoyed our short break at Afsaal.



We travelled northwards and stopped for this elephant bull



and at these boulders where Timon soon detected first one klipspringer



but in the background a bit hidden another one appeared.
