12.11.
It did rain during the night, but the morning already started hot and humid.
One of the many Bee-Eaters we saw on this trip, unfortunately they never were in a good position for a pic.
Larger ViewAt Sitzas a couple of Jackals were near the waterhole, all looking for a drink, but the waterhole was empty.
Larger ViewAgain we spotted Kudus on the way to Craig Lockhardt.
Larger ViewOf course we once again had a look for the Owl at the waterhole.
Larger ViewJust too cute....
And then guess what....
Another Wildcat

Larger ViewA Beautiful Kudu near the 13th Borehole
Larger ViewAnd.... Another Wildcat...
Larger ViewDue to the rain there were huge puddles in the road, here a Secretary had a drink.
Larger ViewThese Vultures had a drink before, we could see the track in the road near the water.
Larger ViewWe had passed the 14th Borehole when we spotted a Wildcat in a tree...
Only back at home having a closer look at the photos on a bigger screen, I discovered that I actually took a photo of two Wildcats...
Larger ViewOstriches on the way to the waterhole...
Larger ViewAnd .... Another Wildcat.... Sorry ....
Larger ViewHere we spotted a strange "couple"....
Larger ViewThis Giant Eagle Owl seemed to have some kind of a problem....
The head looked nearly bold....
Larger ViewIn Mata Mata a Hornbill was beautifully singing in a tree next to our bungalow.
The afternoon was very hot again.
Larger ViewOne of my favourite Agamas
Larger ViewThis looks like a Starling to me, only that he was nearly white....
Larger ViewAnd another Jackal..... I love to observe them...
Larger ViewWhile we were driving I discovered something strange, we stopped a saw that it was a Rats tale dangling out of a tree trunk....
As soon as we stopped the tale disappeared and only seconds later we saw this...
Larger ViewWhile we stood there and had a good laugh, we discovered something underneath that tree....
A Wildcat....
Larger View
Larger ViewShe heard the Rats as well.....
Larger ViewLater a Giraffe was having a drink nearly in the same spot as the Secretary in the morning....
Larger ViewOn the way back we checked the Cat Tree again, and yes....... he/she was still there...
Larger ViewLater on the way to Craig Lockhardt we could smell some rain in the air.
Larger ViewWe spotted another Pearl-spotted Owl in a bush beside the road.
Larger ViewOur last sighting of the day, a Jackal at Craig Lockhardt.
Beautiful light and always so nice to see them.
Larger View
Larger ViewWe had a wonderful day.
Just unbelievable how many Wildcats we saw once again, I dearly hope that does not mean that we will see none of them on our next trip.
And we still have many, many more days to come on this trip....
