. . . Where the Birds and the Antelope Play

We saw an astounding array of birds. Needless to say, more than we were able to capture in a photograph. We found all the wildlife in the Park to be pretty skittish and, thus, have many photos of the rears of animals. The reasons seem to be that away from the quite busy (by their standards) central area there are relatively few visitors, and it was quite early in the season after most of the camps had been closed for 2-3 months during the rainy season.

We had good sightings of a number of antelope species including impala, puku, common water buck, kudu and bush buck. We even saw the rear of an eland in the distance! The impala and puku are the most heavily predated by the big cats.
