You got a new camera? Great pics indeed!

Lots of lovely birds.

Agree on the bateleur.

Where has my post gone

01 June 2018 - Part 2/2. Tshokwane to Satara.

Mazithi Dam.





Kumana Dam. So sad to see how little water there was in it and the rainy season is over.







Still at Kumana Dam.



This guy was trying so hard to get to the fruit in a sausage tree pod.





An old kill at Nkaya Pan.



Northern Black Korhaan



Magpie Shrike.

To be continued.

Fabulous pics with lots of animals. I love the first one with elephants in all sizes

When you have finished your TT, you should participate in "The Kruger National Park Challenges" (Mammals, birds and reptiles). It is great fun

Haven't seen Mazithi and Kumana that dry in a long time!

Lovely sightings along the way.

Larney quality pics, stf!

Ja, the dams were struggling in January, then filled up, then...they are small!
