Thank you for all your comments. I am missing the park so much, heat and all :tongue:

and the more I go through my pics the more I realise just how lucky we are to spend time there! Then, I get frustrated with myself when I look at pics and think "why did I not take more ? Or, why did I not retake it because I would have preferred another angle etc etc :wall:

" The only way to get around that is to plan another trip hey :lol:

thank goodness my SO does not read my reports :naughty:

The route to Nossob via the Kamqua/Dikbaardskolk road was yet again, so different from previous times. The dunes were exposed due to fires from some months back.

This Pygmy falcon was going nowhere , it sat still while we happily clicked away

Saw this little suricate along the dune road , obviously also feeling the heat.

We arrived at Nossob and set up camp :dance:

Our setup, as seen through my crystal ball

A quick peek to see what was happening at the waterhole, revealed this beautiful Bateleur. I'm sure if I had my long lens with me he would not have been there!

Oki doki, that's it for this afternoon, so until tomorrow, early morning ....

Anne-marie , I'm sure you will notice how dry it is compared to your previous visits! I'm not sure but I don't think they have had rain since we left
