Thursday 3rd September.
Another drive north today.
A spot of bird watching at Pafuri picnic spot with Frank the resident Guru and then the short trip to Crooks Corner.
20 k’s north of Punda on the H1-8……between the two powerlines a little treasure crossed our path.
A Tsessebe and calf.
Then this handsome character
Morning snack at Pafuri finished we wandered through the picnic area gazing into the trees looking for the feathered wildlife.
Purple Crested Turaco
Giant Kingfisher
Black Throated Wattlebird
Harder to take a pic of a bird than one of a fidgeting child.
The vervets were having a great time while Frank was pointing out birds.
Raiding picnic tables and stealing whatever they could pick up, including a tub of butter and fruit.
Trunk of Baobab tree.
This enormous tree is 80% water
Fever tree
Pied Kingfisher
Fish Eagle
Sightings on our return trip included:
Finally Mahonie Loop at Punda
Sharpe’s Grysbok
Later in the evening we enjoyed a pleasant few hours with Su Mari and arranged to collect her at reception next morning for a final drive.
What you don't find in a tree!
ReplyDeleteThe Baobab has more water in it that we do! It has these far spreading roots.
Thank you Lorraine for your up dates!!
