The sunshine lasted for the morning and then it rained most of the afternoon. These gentle rains are really good for the veld, but they aren’t helping the water table. Hopefully somewhere along the line we’ll get a few serious downpours that will provide runoff to fill dams and pans and help with the water table. Unfortunately I think we’re in for below average rains this season. But who am I to know this stuff. I’ve only been here for 3 years.
With a bit of social work for a change, after all it is the festive season, I’m not getting out in the field as much as I should be just yet. I suppose this is mainly cos I end up working on Wildcast after socialising and that usually takes me into the early hours of the morning, and then I end up having to catch up on sleep.
I was out this morning filming these giraffe and also the wild coffee trees are in full flower with their little pink flowers being attended to by myriads of butterflies. They came in all shapes, sizes and colours, and they don’t sit around for long making filming them a dash difficult.
The lions have been a little elusive the last couple of days but I hope to pick up on them tomorrow.
It’s amazing that these “little guys,” are born taller than me.
Thank You for the awesome vid of the giraffe’s. The baby was so so so adorable!!! And the mom is just totally amazing. Such a enormous, beautiful, fantastic beast is a real joy to watch! You spread a lot of joy with your video’s!
