Re: BluTuna goes West
There are great sightings to be had every day in the KTP, take more pictures, it costs nothing once you have bought a digital camera and SD card.Lisbeth wrote:Never did have that problemNever had those great sightings in KTP -O -O

I think it depends on the minerals the animals get from their food, I'm sure there must be salt-licks in Kruger and I'm sure that some game reserves supply minerals to their animals.Richprins wrote:Very interesting that salt lick!![]()
Don't think the animals do it much in my neck of the woods...![]()

Re: BluTuna goes West
After a coffee break at Melkvlei we had an uneventful drive across the dunes with nothing worth reporting.
We were rewarded for our lack of sightings near Rooibrak water hole!





I then had a chance to get a Black Korhaan before it hid behind the nearest bush as the others I'd seen were inclined to do.


Then a sighting to spoil it all. I found the behavior of the other tourists to be pretty good in general but one or two tourons (cross between a tourist and a moron) managed to visit the KTP.

I stopped and asked if they had a problem and they replied that they hadn't so decided to report them for blatantly ignoring the park rules; you have to sign a copy of them when you enter the KTP so there's no excuse! When I got online that evening, I sent a copy of the above picture to the section ranger! Unfortunately, that wasn't the end of it.
I drove up the Nossob river for my solo afternoon drive and saw mostly the usual suspects. I was just about to turn around and head back to camp when I spotted some movement in the bushes.




And lastly, I couldn't resist an Ostrich in superb light.

Re: BluTuna goes West
If my guess is correct and you mixed up Rooibrak and Rooikop
(which I do all the time
), then could you please add your
super-fantastic cheetah sighting to this thread?
Honey badger - geez, I'm greengreengreen. Everbody seems get great sightings of them... but me
for the tourons! (But I like you creation and will adopt it immediately -O )
nan, I guess the ranger got the plate in full visibility which is good enough as we can't make use of it anyway.

God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.

This HB was quite a long way off, the pictures are cropped quite a bit.
Unfortunately I can't claim the credit for inventing the Tourons nickname, I picked it up from someone I was chatting to a Mopani camp many years ago and have used it ever since. It's very apt for these particular ummmmm "people".

Re: BluTuna goes West
Alright, then you had a looong drive that day
(And shame for the flavour of the month -O )
You Invention or not - still a good expression
