Saturday Morning
Nice variety again.
We started the day with these ostrich’s. They may not fly, technically, but running over 40 mph is pretty impressive. Look at the size of those legs.
First the vultures were circling overhead, so we knew something was up. As we approached the area of interest, there were two trees full of them. Waiting. Melvin and Marvin took off in the brush to try to find the kill, leaving us helpless in the Land Rover (not really, but it was a bit unnerving) They did find where it had occurred, but the hyenas had dragged it away, so nothing for the vultures this time.
But, Melvin was not going to come back to us empty handed, so he brought this buffalo skull for us. One of many starved by the ongoing drought conditions.
Amazing, we found the pack of wild dogs again! This guy has a bone he is still trying to get something from.
Young ones playing.
This was cute to watch. He has full control over a clump of water grass. Guarding it carefully. They are totally meat eaters, so I think he is just practicing the moves he needs to make when he grows up and has a real kill.
Could not resist another shot before we took off.
A nyala at a watering hole with rhino and child.
I loved the reflection of mom and child in the pool.
What can I say? The morning tree shot.
