Eland

Tonight, being the last Saturday I will be here for a while, we went to the farm game park Lodge and enjoyed a braai (BBQ) whilst watching the game settle down for the night. The night noises here are amazing and a delight to just sit and listen with a beer or cold g&t. It was warm - and dry thankfully - unlike our last attempt to braai in here.The eland seemed quite unfazed by the fire and were quite inquisitive as were the nyala and the 'tame' old kudu girl.
A wonderful evening.
The main photo is of one of the young eland bulls - very handsome horns he is sporting.

Huge thanks to all of you who have been so generous with stars and hearts for my last few blips. It is a huge honour to get onto the popular pages and I am delighted you have enjoyed my snapshots of life here in south Africa. Back to Blighty next week and the cold and wet!
