Thanks, Bob. Ostrich farming has spread to the whole country now. It
used to be confined to the Karoo. BTW, there are even some Rheas on game
farms around here. Kruger is so expensive for overnight stays now, we
only do day trips. 300km in a day is about the limit. July to October
when the bush has dried out & the grass eaten is best.

Beautiful - love the ostriches and the heron. I dont think I saw ostriches when
I was at Kruger but I’d seen some a few weeks before, in Ethiopia, running
alongside a bus I was in. Strange creatures. Saw some in a farmers field over
here once when I was cycling in Dorset. That was even stranger.

We went for a jaunt into Kruger yesterday to check the state of the rivers after
the recent heavy rains. An overcast but hot day. Lunch on the Terrace at Olifants
camp with several Eagles effortlessly soaring up & down on the slope wind. Jack
Davis would have loved it! Scroll R from the first image.

A temporary rock pool. Very inviting for a quick dip!

An Ostrich family with 7 chicks. An unusual sighting in Kruger.
A handsome male Grey Heron. Not quite as spectacular as your Great Blues.
All with the K5 & HD 55-300.
