Perfectly still
Sunrise
Pied avocet, with curiously curved bill
Regal kori bustard
Early morning scavenging
Giant birds
Crowned lapwing
Plover
Wading to shore
Quiet browsing
Clucking away
Striding with purpose
Quite a stare
Guineafowl up close
Bobtail saunters in
Time to leave
Turkey-like head
Cleaning a path
Hopping up
Ready to flap all over
Lurking about
Sipping patiently
Huddle
Paired
No breakfast for Bobtail
Getting dive-bombed
Shallow water
Tawny eagle again
Baby zebra
Back to the water now that it's lion-free
Still wary
Passing through
Still skittish
Head on
Coiled and ready to bolt
Slipping out
Back to the safety of the bush
Making an entrance
No drinking for baby
The bulls arrive
Young male giraffe
Small family group
Two-weeks' growth
Lots of optics
Liz and Nate
Natalie and Carrie
Taking notes
Cleverly hidden GoPro
Camp at midday
Collecting close to the trough
Setting up for a trough video
Inside the trough
The head, with the freshest of water
A scrappy jackal
Looking for predators
Afternoon calm
Two-headed
Long luscious lashes
From inside the bunker
Eye scar
Checking out the monkeys in the bunker
Lazy sipping
Just a couple of bulls
Uneven
Hardly any drips
A third joins in the mix
Thinking of moving
Sniffing for who's coming
Leaning in
Happy to be in the bunker
Tim at the "far" end
Brendan arrives
Going to say hello
A very wide face
Drinking at the head
A stream of drips
Rubbing
Trunk to mouth
Trunk hug
Scratching
Lots of standing and waiting
An occassional sip
Getting dark
Twlight
A few more visitors
Bull convention
The stars come out
Slow motion
Ghosts
Tons of stars
Standing alone
Silhoutted
