Hi Val

I have no idea how I missed this Title since it contains two things very special to me. THE NORTH which I happen to call my home, and the Painted Dogs which I love to see.

I am all aboard. Am sure you'll love the NORTH, I have visited the NORTH on thousands of occasions and I am only 18, yet I have NEVER had a WILD DOG sighting in the NORTH, but lots of other great sightings. I will be following your TR very carefully. I wish you all the best. Fingers and toes crossed.

Enjoy. Hope the North delivers to u as well and also give you your Wild Dog sighting

Hi Val, awesome, 6 months.....we will have to come and visit you!!!!!!!!!

My CB's are still nest sitting and the male feeds her now and then, so sure there is eggs, but how to know for sure I don't know....just have to wait and see. They chased all the other barbets away in the area and it's only them around.

Travel safe and let us know when you're here and hopefully everything went well !!!!!

Hi Val,
I'm sitting in Lower Sabie just now on my way to Satara. Have had great cheetah sightings around Croc Bridge and a not so great wild dog sighting= snouts and tails!
Hope you have great sightings !
