Re: Barry & Hilda's long awaited return to Kruger

We have never seen a Cicada before, and I expected them to be much smaller. They are not pretty either. I thought they should look like a Ladybird or some other pretty little critter. :D :D

Re: Barry & Hilda's long awaited return to Kruger

We find the Squirrels in the Park very entertaining and have never seen them "going to bed together" like this. It was very special to witness this, all four together, without anyone falling off. :dance: :dance:
