Was that his tail, DB? :lol:

It looked mighty long for a tail to me - was also wondering about it :?


I missed that, and hate to show my ignorance, but where is the cement crib?

Facing the waterhole as we do from the cam's point of view, to the left is the cement crib which is just outside the fence at Orpen camp. So often the animals go there to drink and the water is pumped from it into 'our' waterhole.

The bird doesn't sing because it has answers, it sings because it has a song.
