Rescue Mission

13 Jan 2020 226
This little turtle (I think, might be a tortoise, we were quite a way from water) was walking in the rut of the 4wd track. I couldn't leave him there, and felt obliged to move him a metre or two away from the highly dangerous path he had chosen to traverse.

Hornbill

There were many hornbills, gliding and swooping, or bouncing along at ground level through long grass. They seemed to like hanging around the tracks we drove, or maybe there are just so many.

Practice

Adolescent lechwe butt heads in practice for adulthood, when it will mean so much more. For ten minutes or so, we watched three take it in turns to engage with each other, locking horns and pushing and butting, then prancing and leaping to re-engage once again.

An afternoon storm came, and Jo and I managed to find some shelter from the tropical downpour. Even running 2 metres from the car to the shelter made us soaked. Obviously, it is the same for all the animals who get caught out there! This little mouse came in to join us.

Giraffes at a Tree
