Because of having a great rest last night, I only got out into the field much later today. But golly I feel good!!!
Had a lovely walk in the hills around Hunyugwe looking for bushmen paintings and just generally having a Sunday morning stroll.
The animals were all out on Banyini as usual in the afternoon but nobody was up to much.
This Grey Heron was having great success hunting Xenopus frogs (Platana’s) as the weed provided it with good cover.
At dusk a rhino cow and calf ventured onto Banyini to drink and a lone jackal started on his nightly patrol.
Soon after dark I heard a wild dog calling near Banyini. But just one dog. It was Whisky still giving his mournful cry, calling for ages. It’s so sad to hear him and there’s still no sign of him having a friend.

Kim,
Thanks to Gerda at Africam I found you. The past week has been spent in the archives catching up (my house is a mess and my husband is starving). You have taken me from my home in the southern USA to the glorious and magical world of Africa. I have laughed at the antics of Chip and Brutus and cried at the loss of “our” precious wild dogs. Thank you so much for sharing your world with us.
Todays film is beautiful, that heron is quite the little fisherman. My heart aches for Whiskey I hope he finds a friend, or better yet a pretty little female. It is so sad knowing that he is all alone.
