5:42am ..The Morning Song has begun. Birds are waking and Sun is beginning to show at NK . The Lapwings are making their usual fuss, I imagine that they are warning the still sparring Impala away from their nests LOL

11:40am ...Warthogs at NK ..One was visible, then all of a sudden 2 more came into view and chased the first one off. Wonder if it was a male chasing off another male, of if it was a male female deciding it was time for baby to leave ?  Have to google up on Warthog family dynamics today. LOL

I see so many landies and search lights, what are they looking for? The buffalo that was in the water hole so long?? They geese flew away so it wasn't them they were searching..hehehe

 There was a cat here just a little bit ago.  They're looking for it.

Thank you Ladys Mom, don't know how I missed it. One of those rare times I got up. The leopard from yesterday maybe. Guess it won't be back around now...just have to listen to the impalas

LOL about the impalas.  Only so much of THEM one can listen to!  The cat drank at the finger....was there for a couple minutes.  Sure had E & T worked up.  Then the bb jackals chimed in.
