Well since the turtle is out, I guess the water's OK to drink.
No cam op. Night shots taken on the 'pan'

Far away Jackal
Far away Raffie
Almost missed this one

Ellies were not alone this time. Warties sure did stay out of the way though
This was about all I saw of the ostrich
Only shot I got of the bunch of them (I think they are all in it)

Hello!
Have some shots from Pete's Pond that I'd like to pass along to you! Some of a blackback jackal,
Pointer pose
one of the genet from the other night,
group shot of the ostriches, (reminds me of those dancing girls The Follies I think. Can't remember)
a sunset,
and some of an eland that appears to have a damaged horn - can't really tell from the pics. (can see in this one that the horn closest looks like the tip is broke off)
(If I remember right there was an Eland last year that had one horn that grew sideways)
I'm hard at it, editing some ellie shots from Pete's Pond that I've managed to accumulate over the days. I had a happy trigger finger when it came to capturing some shots. There was so much going on, that I didn't want to miss a good shot, s-o-o-o-o, I just kept shooting! Now I'm payin' the price! LOL You know as well as I that it's all worth it! (sure do)

Quick word - Mom and the fawns are doing fine! I think they're coming in at night or very early in the morning any more. They do make an appearance every now and then at around 6 P.M. to get a quick snack, thank goodness!
The kids are getting closer to Mom's size now, so it's getting hard to distinguish them! Another thing is growing - their appetite! That's O.K. - the restaurant is staying open!
Gotta run - time to edit some more ellies! LOL
Take care.

Thanks DaveKay for all your hard work. I know what you mean about not wanting to miss a good snap. It's like you want to record the entire time on video and go back later and take out all the parts with no activity. Now that would be a really good vid !

HAPPY VIEWING !!
With the water so low at
Djuma I thought that the resident Hippo(s) had found a deeper place to call home but look ~
a Hippo
Wasn't sure at first but indeed it is. A duck (?) climbing on the Hippo
Hey you know you got a duck on your head ???
Waterbuck is wondering just what is going on
Steps up for a closer look-see
Does that Hippo know there's a duck on it's head?
I already asked that and I guess it does.
Well it's a bit to weird for me, I think I move down a bit.
Mud's deep but at least it's not so crowded.
.
Fatty hanging out
Guess he didn't like the scenery here
because he turned around and headed back across the pond.
Lone Ostrich approaches the pond
No problems quenching his thirst
Drank for a while then just walked away.
This looks like a good place
Ahh yes, bath time
feels good
now on to the preening
