Leachy,

Gorgeous pics of the sunrise.



Agree with MM.
Different camouflage materials must have be used on your vehicle to obtain these special behaviours so frequently....

G'day Mr Leach

What a joy reading through your hilarious TR. The past few weeks I couldn't see any kiekies on my phone so I had to wait to read TR's from a computer.
YOur rendition of shakespearean love was a treat even if I think that the actors were a bit dramatic.
I can't believe that you and Wendy had so much luck that stormy day-Wendy with her lions and you with the cheetah... all I had was a big red rock.
Love the python-as you know I love them snakes and I really don't have a clue what specie is the one that was earlier on in your TR... 'n kopkrapper daai ene...
We had a blast at Lower Sabie with you and your 'family' and I can't wait to see you again in July. I think we will be in the same camp for 2/3 days. Vinkie will also be there so a mini meet is in order
You had a great sighting of the croc and the massive barbel----that is why there are such a small amount of crocs at Sunsetdam... the frankenfishes are chowing them instead
Love the sunbirds feeding and I can't believe that you got that on camera
Nobody can entertain like Leach

seated around their campfires at night

Bored with lions????

That is a beautiful kudu bull that leachy en hoe gril ek nou vir daai spinnekop plain and simple that thing dies a very sudden death if it dares enter my house

WoW That red roman is huge - We also saw a couple of them but thee were all babies compared to that giant you saw

Leachy, I just love your Heron and cascading water picture Magnificent.

As for the nocturnal nuisances

that is another matter all together

More brilliant photos

Love the sequence of photos of the heron feasting. Master chef/photographer!!!

Spider, toes and campfires.... may be ... "romance spiders"

on the way back home i stopped on the weir

there was this elephant crossing the sabie river in the vicinity of a resident pod of hippo..

did you ever, as a child have to walk somewhere when you were feeling quite scared ?

i have..... and i remember that...

to make it easier i would make a noise or sing out loud

this guy was doing the same..

while entering the flight or fight zone of the hippo

he splashed and trumpeted away as if to increase his confidence while near them...
