Next up just after Kwang was this juvenile martial eagle. I don’t remember ever seeing as many martials as we did on this trip
At Bedinkt, this lilac breasted roller was showing off

The jackals were out and about at Polentswa, but no hunting this morning
And we spotted this puff adder crossing the road
Brunch at Lijersdraai was great

What an interesting mix, Gavin!
From lion to mouse, you have a nice eye for the smaller things.
I like the reptiles, and Liejers looks very pleasant.

Yes, lots of Martials, but mostly youngsters it seems
If only the mice had a hairy tail, they would be super cute
Nice agama
Lion
Funny with lions in KTP, sometimes you almost fall over them and other times you don't even find them looking hard

No two visits are ever the same or at least very similar. Don't know what it is with that place

And when we got to Kwang, this male lion was in the parking area at the waterhole
Probably the same chap we had seen earlier, but a whole lot closer now

At Cubitjie Quap we had an unusual sighting of the juvenile Bateleur eagle sunning itself in the afternoon sun

One last pic of the Scops owl
The rest of the afternoon and evening, we spent in camp getting ready for our move to Two Rivers the next day
