Stopped to watch these little ones....while having our coffee and rusks they all started moving towards us

Carried on.....
Geez more little ones....wow there were a lot of them along the road...

While taking photos this little one came closer to see what this "'big thing'' is....

Then he/she looked straight at me...ready to pose

Spend quite a long time at the 'nursary' :lol:

We turned to see if there were anything at leewpan...just a few water birds.
carried on to the next waterhole....also just a few birds....dicided to carry on...saw these
Spurwinged goose wading and feeding along the little stream

Stopped at Tshokwane for breakfast.
Carried on towards Satara, as we got to Mazithi dam we saw some movement in the stream pass the dam...we could see something floating in the water and crocs twirling around....took a photo but a bit to far for a clear image....

The crocs were eating something but we could not see what animal it is
