Right, the youngsters didn't approach the water.  Looking at that snap, it's the calf on the far left with its mom that I think is new and not one of the four we've been watching.  I could be wrong, of course, but, that one is quite a bit smaller than the two calves that are in the background.  And, being in the background, those two would appear smaller if they were the same size, no?

The Wildies at NK were moving so fast just now.  Walked to the WH for a drink, were startled, and moved on quickly.  At one point however I think I saw a new baby Wildie.  One in the mix looked much smaller than the ones we've been seeing all along.

There's no mistaking the Hadeda Ibis (sp?) right now at NK.  And the Cape Turtle Dove (for me that one always sounds like Good Mor-ning, Good Mor-ning).

We will have to study the Sounds of Nkorho (click here) to prepare for the next annual Birding Walk with Karin and Gerda and Katja (they're working on it).

Missed it.  The birds can be most difficult to spot.

Edited to add:  What birds are we hearing at this moment? (at NK)

Here is a link I just found that has some pretty strange facts about Giraffe and same sex relationships between the males.  It is Wikipedia tho, and I usualy dig a little deeper to check their facts LOL
