Wow, Rog!
Unusual pics there!
Dunno? Bateleur are often the first at the scene of a crime, so to speak...maybe they watch each other and come to investigate?

Re: Landy rolls to Kruger
On our way out we stopped on the bridge to watch some birds :
The birds were scrabbling in the mud
Suddenly a juvenile Fish eagle swooped down and stole the catfish.
He flew up to a tree branch to enjoy his stolen feast
But it did not last long , an adult Fisheagle swooped down and took it away and flew off.
We stopped at the gate and pre-booked for New years day entrance ....

Re: Landy rolls to Kruger
Back in Marloth we had some visitors to the house :
We drove to the fence-line to watch the animals in the Crocodile riverbed and see the last sunset of 2015 ...
