Thursday 25th April 2024
I think we were up before the animals this morning when an over vigilant ranger tapped on our door at 5.30am. If fact we were up before the sun too which was reflected in the outside temperature. As soon as we hit the trail in the Toyota, things began to improve and the morning sunrise was glorious. Impala were up of course. I don't expect they sleep much since they have breakfast tattooed across their forehead. Breakfast that is for most other animals out there. Their main line of defence is to move around in large groups reducing the odds of being eaten somewhat, but of course the old, frail and sleepy will have reduced odds entirely. The dominant male has even more to worry about. There's always a challenger. In fact he may only hang onto the gold sticker for one day before another male sees himself as top dog. The stakes are high but so are the prizes. He gets the pick of all those women and with childbirth occurring in November onwards with a six month gestation, about now he has a great deal to do!
The radio squawked and Bella our ranger said hold on tight, we need to shift. And so it was that this Toyota was reaching unimagined speeds 2 wheel, 4 wheel drive along the deep sandy tracks. We came eventually to a bit of a clearing to meet another Toyota and two nursing lionesses; one with three male cubs which were likely a few months old and another with a tiny cub probably just a matter of weeks old. Male cubs are not as desirable as female of course since one dominate male will perform the necessary task whilst the female will propagate the species. The air hung heavy with a recent kill.
The saddest image was of a dead elephant lying where he fell, by a well trodden path close to the river. He would have been an excluded old male. Elephants have six sets of teeth which are worn and replaced throughout their life. When the last set are gone, with no more replacements available, they die of starvation, as this one most likely did.
Also on the viewing list this morning was a brown snake eagle and a yellow billed stork.
Chobe is a national park and so our lodge is one of many. However, because it's a national park there is no fence and the animals roam as they should. Not only in Botswana, but we saw elephant moving across national borders yesterday moving from Namibia and into Botswana.
We were back at the lodge by 9 and were able to tuck into a huge carnivore breakfast before taking to the boat at eleven.
Bella drove an entirely electric boat up and down the Chobe River whilst we chatted to the 2 Americans and one Australian and animals such as Trump were discussed at length. The temperature is telephone number territory so most respectable animals were having a bit of a quiet time indoors. However, elephants and baboons can be relied upon to keep the party going. Crocodiles are party animals too, although they kept pretending to slip down into the water where they could cool off. Baboons when not nitpicking sit and sip the water; one with child needed to be extra vigilant not to drown the clinging child beneath her when dipping her head into the water. We were returned to the lodge after an hour and a half on the water in time for lunch! It's a hard life. We said no, we will just have a drink of water, but before long found ourselves tucking into a plate of cold beef and salad.
We were allowed a brief time off before high tea and then the 3.30 safari.
Bella our ranger rounded us up and shoved us into the Toyota ready for the three hour safari. I said to her, now come on Bella, be honest, when did you last seen a leopard? She was quiet for a moment and muttered, about two weeks ago. Well I said, I really want to see one, it's the only one of the big five I haven't seen. Well off we went, we looked under every bush, up every tree, do you think we could find one, NO. Bella said she thought she saw a tail. Big disappointment I can tell you. We did see the usual bunch of elephants, a bent giraffe, Kori Bustard, a large wart hog and several hundred impala. No leopard. We did however stop for a sundowner; a gin and tonic washing down a bag of biltong. Very sophisticated. Well to be honest it was only me and the American ladies that had the biltong. Then came the magnificent sunset and back to base just in time for 6.30 pm. Apparently the rangers turn back into Cinderella if you miss this deadline and they get fined by the national park.
Tomorrow we have one opportunity from sunrise to see the leopard, then Trailfinders shall scoop us up and take us to Victoria Falls.

25/09/2023-RSPB Minsmere
Photos taken in this set are of: 1. One of a few Common Sandpipers I relished seeing today, with Green Sandpiper seen well too, some of my greatest ever views of the rustic and cheery Common Sandpiper. 2, 4, 8 and 9. Beautiful views, it really is such a vast, precious and wild mixture of habitats; endless reedbeds, glistening scrape, sea, rich woodland, grassland, views of heath and strong vistas all around. It was so invigorating to be out here so long today to begin the weekdays of my week off, the relaxing that weeks off are all about for me. 3. A Small Copper I really enjoyed seeing at the visitor centre. 5. Some glorious sheep's bit which I was thrilled to find at the coast. 6. Grey Squirrel at the visitor centre at the end. 7. A sumptuous Shelduck, seeing these as well as the key bird for this site Avocet crucial to its founding as the RSPB's first reserve what a key moment in nature conservation when it was founded in (the latter especially) great numbers was really heartfelt and calming today two very important species for my interest being some of the first birds I saw at Titchfield Haven as I was just getting into birdwatching as a kid. 10. One of a few great trees observed today in the sunlight that is turning seasonally yellow.
Also standing out of the so much seen here today was the key moment with the main bird we wanted to try and see here with phenomenal flying views of my first Bittern of the year. It is so sweet and satisfying that this idea paid off to allow us to see this quintessential reedbed, enigmatic and awesome species for another year which I feel so lucky to have. Other highlights were Great White and Little Egret, Marsh Harrier and Little Stint which I was pleased to spot. Common Scoters flying over the sea, finely coloured Wigeon, Teal, Shoveler, Black-tailed Godwits, another Ruff of late and great Snipe views were good to see too. Comma, Emerald Damselfly, Southern and Migrant Hawker and Common Darter were other insect highlights. Other highlights were Cormorant, Common Tern, Stonechat, Blue Tit, Red Deers, Muntjac, amazing Water Vole views at the pond at the end in the evening sun what a year I've had for this mammal, Rabbit, Grass snake possibly the first I've ever seen near the Water Vole, cricket, spider, restharrow, my first ever marsh mallow, red campion and tansy with Cetti’s Warbler heard. Ox tongue, water mint, scarlet pimpernel, stork's-bill, gorse, broom, honeysuckle, bramble flower, hawthorn, plums, chestnuts and a few mushrooms were nice to see too. At the hotel we stayed in last night holly, ivy, rose hips and Common Darter were nice to see especially in the sun as well as wasp. Red-legged Partridge in Norfolk on a hay bale and Buzzards in the air were good birds I saw on the journey yesterday with snails enjoyed at home tonight. A decade on from our two previous visits, I cherished amazing time at Minsmere today with an extraordinary list of things seen combining a bit of everything I love seeing and photographing it seems and with an extraordinary list of sightings for birds and mammals especially with many things I'd not often or ever seen on the same day before. What a marvelous nature reserve.

some chaps in a bar
Molly walked in with sexy boots.
Leonard was a bit in love with Molly, still, because they made out one night eight years ago.
Dave was a bit angry with Leonard because Molly used to be his girlfriend, although he kept his thoughts and passions inwardly and was largely a lazy and nice guy.
Molly didn’t speak to either of them, as she hadn’t seen them yet.
Instead she walked up to Rose, who was one of her oldest mates and who had the prettiest snow yellow hair; and they hugged and kissed and bought some drinks.
From Noel, the bartender, who wasn’t in to either of the pretty ladies because he was homosexual and himself was wary and bashed by the world because he still loved his old boyfriend who he hadn’t seen in years and who he’d moved town to get away from, and this was why he was working miserable jobs with lots of alcohol involved.
Noel was a nice guy, though. Real nice chap. And his friend Fred was an okay dude also.
Fred was drinking rum with ice. He was new to booze and wanted to be a musician. Was heavily influenced by lyricists and he wrote his own stuff and recorded lo fi material on his phone and the rum made him feel like his songwriting had any credence and yet he wasn’t quite sure whether being an artist had any strong merit because most of the time it seemed like racing too fast or being totally paralysed or rather suspended on the knifepoint of self doubt. But Fred was just chill with people. Nice boy.
Not so nice was Bill the Bouncer. Who stood outside on the doors. Some Bouncers are actually decent folk and only in it for a pay slip, whereas others, like Bill, were only in it for physical violence. Several people he had attacked. Without any police intervention. [If indeed one could argue that police officers weren’t filled with the same human material.]
Bill the Bouncer said hello to Anna when he came inside to take a pee.
Anna was from Polska and had come here for money, for a better financial life. And she’d gotten a decent salary, to her, working as a waitress. But she missed her homeland. The high rises on the horizon and the snow in winter, gaudy heat by summer. Missed the sound of trams, which weren’t in this city, and the storks that would build their nests on the electricity poles on the fields outside of town where she used to go bike rides with her sisters.
Anna liked Paul. Who was grey haired and funny called her Annabelle and spoke a little Polish in this clumsy accent and he was the type of man who didn’t care he was stupid with certain things.
Paul liked Anna too but he was too old for her and had long given up with women. It was a calmer thing to simply make people laugh now and then.
He had a dark history with woman. As lots of men do. Meh. But he could sure tell a story. Not many people disliked Paul. Not even the dark historian women.
