Another lovely episode............shame you had to split up from your guardians!!
Having said that, I can't believe you two are not able to spot your own sightings!!! :dance:

Love your birdies and the mongoose mama and baba!! :thumbs_up:

Barry I am here - can't believe I nearly missed this.... So far so GREAT!! Loving another KTP report. Some great sightings.

We took a body break at Auchterlonie. I have to say that the cloakrooms were spotless, although it is only cleaned once a week. Thanks to all the visitors, as well as park personnel for keeping it so clean

We have found it the same - just shows when people coperate our parks can cope with limited resources!

Surely we can spot our own sightings Val! It was just a matter of missing our guardians who spoilt us with sightings that we definitely would have missed if it was not for them, like the AWC in the tree, to mention just one! They have very sharp eyes! :lol:

Have so enjoyed travelling along with you both on your maiden voyage.
You certainly had some great sightings considering the intense heat.
