FROM THE DRIVE CAM ...

Finally got some time to peek in on a Drive and what a Drive it was ! Had a wonderful surprise right out of the gate.


There were a total of 3 Wild dogs in the area.



And not to very far away a few Zebra











The Dogs didn't bother with the Zebra though



Then we came upon Hyena finishing off what looked to be a small Impala, not sure who's kill it was theirs, the dogs or ...






The Styx's pride. Something got their attention ...




just another game drive.




Couple of days later I found myself once again with time for a drive. First off a Hornbill ...



Then a lone Buff


some Warties




A Pied Plover (looked like he was dancing, lol)


and a young Heron



Then we got to see this group of Buffs. There was some friendly head pushing


and a lone Waterbuck.



A quick trip back to Gowrie has a Pied Kingfisher and one of the resident geese


Back on the 'jigga' the sunset was awesome (as usual)


Reflection of sunlight on a distant cloud



One horned Waterbuck



I seem to recall these affectionately being called 'Fleas'





And a visit from Karula









Off for a night' hunting.

Now on to the Hancock Wildlife cams. I'll start with the HWF Owl cam. If you look closely you can see 1 egg, right by the Eagles right shoulder.

These 2 keep their eggs pretty much under 'wraps'.
.

Got a tiny peek from the Cam at the Sidney site too.

Last but not least the Hornby Island cam. There was a whole lot of calling back and forth ...

waiting patiently for the changing of the guard.


Backup has arrived !

Reporting for duty !

Much better like that.

I also did a quick run through some of the Falcon cams and things are starting to get busy for the Falcon families too. Hope to get some decent views for you in the very near future.
