11/26 DRIVE


Rains have brought color to the drives
Wild Lillie's

Whats left of a buff (of course I missed the Lions, lol) The ribs are very flat, Pieter says to help protect the vital organs inside


Starling




Just look at the green.




Nice





Termite mound building in progress













Hard to see but they were very busy.



Termite that still has wings but not for much longer. They fall off.









Morning Glories (Look a lot like Petunia's don't they?)

At Gowrie, a Heron was on patrol (was switching back and forth, lol)










Starling chicks almost too big for the nest now.


Plover


Goose egg.



The Goose. Pieter says he was never seen this behavior before. It appears that she is 'hiding'


Pieter went out to retrieve the egg.


Notice he took his flip flops off.


Showing us how large the egg is. And since it was just laying out in the open like that, he assured us the the egg is not viable. More then likely it is the 'victim' of a nest raid.

Leaving the egg to nature. Come what may.


Showing us his new 'shoes' lol



Weavers are busy busy


Summer is on it's way !

DRIVE CAM 11/29 & 11/30 PM DRIVE

Now there wasn't a Drive on the 29th but I did get on the cam.

At first all I saw was this ...


then out of nowhere

this group made it's way to the waterhole !


A total of 5

Posing for a picture


Then is was off again

into the bush






This is from the 11/30 PM Drive. Had to wait while he crossed the road



Rexon found a tree that has been 'debarked' by Ellies. Said it shows that there are a lot of grazers in the area and Ellies are starting to 'debark' though it's usually only in the winter months



Pair of Vultures. Probably a mating pair since they are the only ones in the area. If it was a kill site there would be lots more.


Trying to find some shade !



At the WH a couple of Waterbuck are being rowdy


Old Termite Mound ~ could be upwards of 100 years old. This one is one of the oldest in area according to Rexon


All that was at Tree House Dam
