Thanks for keeping me company during this TT nan, Sis, Mel, RP, and Pumbaa.
I didn't realize the Black Heron was not seen very often, even by regular visitors to Kruger. I feel even more lucky to have been in the right place at the right moment.
Sis, as far as getting them "doing something", I just try to be patient, but it doesn't always pay off, of course.

The first hippo shot is

Did the other two just play around a bit or were they in fighting mode?
Honey badger
Great shots of the hornbills and the hyena is still at an age were I consider it cute

A honey Badger outside a camp
Great hornbill pics

I have a preference for the grey one...it is dressed so stylish, the ground hornbill is rather vulgar
Nice little hyena
