Good Morning!
Just got off the 3/2 A.M. drive -- no shots on this one, but I have some pics from yesterday's drive, plus some stuff from other sites. I took the liberty of using captions again! ~ DaveKay

These range from 2/14 to 2/18 so here goes ...
What would Feb 14th be without hearts. Use your imagination , see the heart towards the middle of the photo
This one is harder but if you look up from the arrow just a bit the lighter green looks like a heart, well kinda anyway. LOL
Boonies playin Follow the Leader
Mongoose
Pieter off looking for tracks
This is not a Golden Orb Spider, it's her cousin the Garden Orb Spider
Now the Francolins are playing Follow the Leader (btw there are 12 chicks in this group with mom and dad at the front and back)
The PM Drive brought more Francolins, look at the under-feathers in the tail, pretty
Ellies came down to Gowrie for a drink
Isn't that the cutest little Ellie
Bumpin Butts
One of the new try out guys, I'm sorry I didn't catch his name.
But he saw lots of birds. Go Away (Grey Lourie)
Starling
Crested Barbet
Grey Heron and what looks to be a Pied Plover
On the 15th I finally saw instead of just heard this one, Ibis at the WH
Don't remember what, but it sure is pretty
Boonie on sentry duty on 2/16
Rexon doing an excellent Hippo call
Night bird in bush
The 17th brought out the song in this Woodland Kingfisher
Afternoon drink
Water wasn't cold enough I guess LOL
On the 18th we find the drag marks from a Leopard and it's kill.
And the Boonies working on the cam again !
See that small tree directly in front of us? Rexon drove right over it.
Dagga Boys hanging out
Another new face, this one is Dinamossi (I confess I went to WE blog to get the spelling. No way I would of got it on my own). He will probably get another try since the tank broke down about 5 minutes into his tryout.
But he did show us these leaves. I missed what kind they are but he said in a pinch you can use them as a sub for toilet paper. I don't know if I'd go that far LOL
Well that wraps up all I had in my stash. Now on to what was sent in and the AM Drive from the 25th.
HAPPY VIEWING !!
Good Afternoon!
Between chores, I got some nice shots of the 2/8 Drives.

I am really getting a kick out of these drives, and hope they have great success with all the new equipment that they are getting later this season.
Enjoy! ~ DaveKay/Ellieboy
