You have some great sightings and photos here. I particularly liked the pics of the stonechat and the zebra foal.
Thanks, Carol! Rietvlei’s a real treasure on our doorstep. We should visit more.
Indeed we all need to take more advantage of treasures on our doorsteps.
Wat ‘n wonderlike manier om ‘n Sondag te spandeer! Soveel verskillende diere, dis ‘n pragtige gesig! Jy vang die natuur so mooi vas in jou “just some photographs” 😁.
En jy is baie gaaf, Corna. Baie dankie.
A nice series. Thank you
Thank you very much, Tim!
Wow, I’m with Ann. ‘Just some photos,’ eh? 😉 What a magnificent array! Especially loved the rhino and the ostrich. Thx, as always, for sharing your gorgeous corner of the world with us!
We’re blessed to live where we do, that’s for sure, Lori!
“Just some photographs …” Magnificent sightings all. What a wonderful place to unwind in!
We’re blessed to have this gem virtually on our doorstep, Anne, and must admit that we don’t take full advantage as we should.
Wonderful sightings, Dries. Love the Rhino.
Nice to hear from you again, Sylvia!
I greatly enjoyed all of the photos. 🙂
Thank you very much, Janet!
Truly amazing the animals you see. I love how you capture them too.
Thanks very much, Meghan!
