The grey heron was going to great lengths yesterday to rid the waterhole of one great egret. This morning there must have been at least 10. Heron's neighborhood has gone to pot! He'll have his work cut out today. Also present besides the usual suspects were sacred ibises and squaco heron.
Great consternation among all of the above whenever an eagle flies by. Juvenile fish eagle roosting in one of the umbrella thorns over the waterhole. Last year there was a mature fish eagle... Wonder if it's her offspring?
Impala, zebra and giraffe on the plains. No Ellie activity thus far today.
Senyati has become a bit of a rip off with rules and regulations and exchange rates. Service levels seem to have dropped off quite a bit.
Our last night at Senyati, and all hell let loose. Lion/s roaring and snarling, elephant trumpeting ... (sounded very angry and anxious), Hyenas whooping and jackals yipping ... stampeding feet ...All very close. Lasted for about a minute then deathly silence. Even the insects and frogs were quiet. Normal night sounds resumed after 10 minutes.
