Frustrating day.
Well actually it was a good day but seems like a bad one just because of some little vehicle problem. Well maybe not so little. Anyway once I’ve fitted a new carburettor we should be back on track.
But because of this I didn’t get the time in the afternoon to find the wild dogs. I searched for about an hour in the area I’d left them yesterday but they weren’t there.
I’m sure I’ll pick them up tomorrow though.
At Sosigi dam at dusk a lone elephant bull was just leaving from a drink. There seems to be quite a bit of bull activity around the dam so I might just spend some time there tomorrow after I find the wild dogs.
Chekwa pan was again rumbling with elephants. But this time the bulls were totally dominating the fresh water coming in to the pan. The cow herd could only stand around waiting their turn but eventually gave up and went off to forage.
There’s also a new calf in the herds. This little guy has such attitude for his age, not even 2 months old.
Midday I was heading through Banyini and descending vultures homed me in to an impala carcass with some 100 vultures packing it. I’m not sure how it died but being a male, it could be from fighting as the rut is now in full swing.
