Thank you for joining me on my photo trip and kind comments :dance: :dance:

The Picnic spot at the Museum is always a perfect Pit stop for a late brunch and admire the view.
We found a Meerkat den. Not perfect, but a keeper for now..

Image

Looks almost sad...

Image

Our first bird sighting in the Auob River was a Pigmy Falcon in the open.

Image

Image

Image

A Crimson-breasted Shrike was searching for food under the tree. My first decent image after many visits.

it looks as though there might be something wrong with its eye :( maybe it is just the angle. I hope so.

the Suricates seems almost awake... with sand in the eye :hmz:

Awesome pictures of the Suricates Jan! I think it is sand in that one's eye, because his nose is full of sand as well! :D

Gorgeous Pygmy Falcon! And as Anne-marie said, nice to see the underside of the wing as well! :clap: :clap:

Beautiful pictures of the Crimson-breasted Shrike! :dance: :dance:

Thankss for sharing! :thumbs_up:
