Morning drive Day 2 – It got even better when we saw a Honey badger running in the riverbed looking for food. As usual the Goshawk was tracking him hoping for a quick snack.

Lucky you to have been there. The two young males are beautiful, such a light color with bright eyes. Bring on the dune road!

Thank you for all the comments...appreciate them all :dance: :dance:

The ever present Jackals had a drink after the Lions moved away.

We left the Lions and took the dune road back to Twee rivieren.
Our first sighting was a Gemsbok posing against the dunes.

Image


We spotted a Goshawk beside the road busy harassing a snake.

Image

Got some great portraits of a Goshawk against a perfect background.

To be continued ...
