A Western Cattle Egret, in full breeding plumage, soaking up the early morning sun at the Otter Bridge in Rietvlei Nature Reserve.
Our end-of-year 2015 holidays were absolutely packed to the brim. Apart from our ten-day visit to the Kruger National Park (read more about our time at Lower Sabie, Olifants and Shingwedzi in December), we also made day trips to five other reserves, and will be sharing photos from those (except Suikerbosrand, which we introduced in a post all of its own) daily through the month of February, in a series we call “a month of monochrome memories”.
Dis nou n besonderse mooi en duidelike S&W foto. Perfek.
