This Eland cow in Rietvlei Nature Reserve got so irritated by the swarm of flies buzzing all around her that she set of running to try and get rid of them!
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”.

She really looks irritated.
The flies were truly getting on her nerves!
It’s so interesting to see your excellent photos in B&W.

Thanks very much Janet, you’re so kind!
LOL! I hope there was some water near by. Poor thing.
We lost sight of her after she went over a rise. Who knows how much further she ran – eland are known to cover enormous distances!
