Southern African wanderings

[Cathy Withers-Clarke @WithersClarke]

It is definitely Friday !
Time for a @moreson Miss Molly and an ARiD Wines Meerkat rosè in the pool.

A last lunch for a friend on the way to the airport deserves a fine location...

No Dolphins or Whales this morning - I think they swim straight past our bay, but we live in hope. If I kept walking to the right for about a week, I'd hit Namibia.

7am, and we have the beach to ourselves. Glorious.

I'm not sure why this Rhino was wandering along with a stick in it's mouth, but it was an interesting sighting !

African harrier-hawks (Gymnogenes) work hard for their food !

This cheeky little chap decided my roof rack made an excellent playground.

This male Ground Hornbill is giving me serious eyelash envy !

This delightful little chap is a White-crested Helmet-Shrike. They are common residents in their territory and their diet mostly consists of insects and other invertebrates.

A male Lion with a Giraffe calf kill. The adult Giraffes were still standing off to one side watching the Lions.

This interesting looking bird is an immature White-headed Vulture. It won't get it's characteristic white head plumage until it is at least five years old.

It's Gecko for breakfast for this Gymnogene - he searched every inch of the tree looking for food.

This is an insane sighting from Kevin Pietersen on Instagram - turn the volume up ! https://t.co/r8pJeSjd6h

I do believe that this is the smallest Elephant I have ever seen !

There's nothing quite like being charged and trumpeted at by a baby Elephant !

While I'm Kgalagadi dreaming, here's the colour version of my Lion header photo. One of my favourites.

Getting in a Hippo's way is never a good idea...

While sorting out some photos today, I came across this lovely Leopard pair from one of our trips to Kgalagadi that I don't think I have looked at before ! Such a nice pose.
