They cried after the rain: Video

The rains are back again today.
The mournful cry of the Trumpeter Hornbill can be quite disturbing. It sounds so much like a child wailing. So when you hear it in the middle of the bush it can shock you for that split second until you refocus.

This weather we’re having is very unusual having been with us for the last 5 days. And today the drizzle comes and goes.
I tried to get out and did get wet. But in an opening of about an hour of no rain it was amazing what I saw. Considering that usually in this weather most of the game disappears. But maybe after so many days of it they’ve decided to pop out the woodwork. Most of it was happening on Banyini.
The big herd of buffalo were feeding on the north western corner.
There were a number of giraffe on Banyini. This guy giving those long legs a rest.

A flock of Marabou Storks were at the pan.

This dung beetle made an appearance. Most of them had already gone underground for the winter but maybe the wet weather brought this guy out.

The butterflies seem to be enjoying this patch of fresh buffalo dung.

And the impala were feeding in the mopanie woodland.
