Zebra Day

This morning Carolynne, Lizzy, Nish, Vukani and I went out to do a road count. However, some of the roads weren't easy to drive through thanks to the onslaught of the last ten days worth of rain so we did what we could and called it a day when Uncle Mike had to come and rescue us. We did manage to get some really good pictures of the Zebra though. My favourite Zebra had obviously been in a fight with one of the other stallions as he had a massive chunk out of his left flank. It looked pretty nasty. I hope he will be okay. The wound did not look good at all and there was a lot of dried blood.

After a bit of lunch we then headed out to do a bit more alien plant work which meant that I got to take down another tree with Vukani. Sadly, it will probably be my last one. As I leave in Friday.

This evening was a trip up to Rachel and Liam's house to mingle and sort out lift arrangements. Tomorrow, I pick up my hire car. Quite excited as I haven't driven for six weeks.

Pondo the one horned Red Hartebeest.


Ostrich!




A Hoopoe.


The first of many Zebra photo's.





This is my favourite Zebra. He is the one that got hurt in a fight.






"What you looking at?"

Bum shot!

Kudu

I think these are my favourite.

The truck stuck in the mud again!

Help is on hand......................

thanks to Uncle Mike.
