I promised to give a new date for the cancelled cradle meet. Remember the one where the low water bridge to MM's place was flooded.

I will be having special guests staying with me on the 10th and 11th September. I thought, why not combine a stiffnecks meeting with this special forumite.. and SO?

Which day will suit you all? There is also a suprise prize for the person who gets the identity of the mite in question first.

Oh dear will just miss it again.
We will be in KTP then!

Hope you all have a fab time and I'll have to have a think about the identity of the visitors!!!

I am sorry you won't be there Crested Val but what a excuse to miss the meet.

Won't try to "Guess" MM but would love to join you on whichever date

Mosij, that is lovely I look forward to seeing you.

Sadly, I no longer have my camera or the computer on which my pictures were stored.

I am however going to give you a taste of what to expect. These are pictures taken when I first moved.

mixture of bushveld and savannah birds



riverine and water birds



the road less travelled



old farm houses to explore

MM, your photos are very tempting. Unfortunately, it is too far for me.
PS: Are you allowed to fish in that river?

Pity you are so far Mizzbee
I think there are fish in the river, there are certainly Fish Eagles around.

This river is used regularly by canoists.



a noisy resident.



for those who do come Duke and Desi will be around to give a warm welcome



and then of course, the special guests will also be there to give a warm welcome

It looks simply lovely MM - I just wish I didn't live so far away!

So do I Salamanda but you are always welcome to pop in if you are in the area.

Here is my house.



close to this river.



We were listening to a Fish Eagle again while we sipped our tea. It is a birders delight.

Thank you MM I'm so sorry you no longer have your camera.

me too I'm too far away
it's must be nice to live there
and with Duke and Desi

Salamanda, I am really missing my camera. I do however hope to replace it soon with a Cannon 30x zoom. I need to get all those impossible LBJ's for identification.

OWN,

Anne Marie, living here has so altered my quality of life. I realise now how claustrophobic I was in the city. It does involve more travelling, but the last few kilometres of my drive home are magic. I often see owls, hares, green eyes that intrigue me. I even had to rescue a mole once.. and once a terrapin.

The morning drive brings all kinds of birds from Kites to Prinias... from Weavers to Mousebirds. My pets love it too. At the moment I am looking at my bird feeder that is covered with seed and fruit eaters.

I'm fully Imagine coming and going to work and having a trip to a nature reserve every time you travel!!
