Africa Wild

Ho ! the Friendly and cheerful braai ... where once more I realized that braai is the fact of men and that we, us girls, have to "monitored" any coming Lions

It is from there that the fridge was at last "quiet" ... but I had to think going back, I stayed at Mata Mata.

I take again the road, and wow ... I can't believe my eyes,...

well.. let's go with... the suite

... the four Cheetahs are there, within range of camera ... almost

About 30 minutes later, they begin to move, obviously they want to return to the dunes on the other side of the road
It is for me ... I'll see them up close. A car arrives, I make him a sign to slow down and we are two to admire these magnificent cats cross in front of us and climb, with difficulty for babies, the sandy and bushy slope, until they disappear ... What a day
what vision

So... 9 Cheetahs in a day :whistle: new record

Glad the tiny ones moved and mum too... from under the tree



this one would like to help mum... with a Bustard

little Cheetahs... take care of you and be carefull of the fire...

EDITED... I let the "help" to recognize the pictures

a completly different subjet

Pale Chanting Goshawk

I discovered this one well hidden at the bottom of a tree, in the shadow, to taste its caught
It was very occupied to eat the snake, which kind ? I don't know... even with a bit of carcass



well camouflaged, but not very secure

In the dunes



not happy... an adult arrive
it doesn't want to share
went a little bit further... with a snake in the talon, a thin one

all the juv. PCG was 3 colors...

Hi nan,
