Christmas Elephants: Video


Christmas eve had me winding down and just having fun.
I took to the skies early in the morning to see what the rain had done last night and thankful that I wasn’t trying to drive anywhere. The place was totally soaked. Just great!

Water everywhere
And all the animals I saw were dotted around in the heavy clay areas, all totally inaccessible by vehicle. Why they like to walk around in those heavy clays, I don’t quite know.

Cattle Egrets
The buffalo herds were spread out all over the reserve. I don’t think I’ve ever so many from the air.

Tracks
Fresh tracks criss-crossed the clay, being very visible from the air.
The only elephant I saw was this big tusker in the south east. I wonder where the herds are hanging out?

Big Tusker
A very MERRY CHRISTMAS to you all!!!!!!
