Let’s hope he ignores us!

Two Woolly-necked Storks were watching this Cheetah male passing as they were foraging on the Thanda Safari savanna for their lunch.

THE EVENING POST – UGLY BUT HUGE

They are a bit ugly but huge – Marabou Storks – I spotted this one two days ago on Thanda – a member of the UGLY FIVE 😊

Have a good weekend!

STAY-AT-HOME SUNDAY

This morning I had the perfect sighting to explain the members of the ‘bush cleanup crew’.

This important team is lead by Spotted Hyena and includes White-backed Vultures, Hooded Vultures, Black-Backes Jackals, Woolly-necked Storks and Pied Crows. I found all of them together in one sighting on the Thanda Safari savanna.

The Hyena was feeding on an Impala carcass and all the others tried to get bits and pieces as the Hyena dragged the animal remains around.

All of the creatures play a major role in keeping the bush tidy and clean.
