Nice capture, Gavin.
Excellent shot Gavin
Great position in the air. Nice job!
Nice one Gavin. They are a little bit easier than the adults to approach. They are beautiful small raptors!

Gavin - That's a great place, if one is lucky. Got a melanistic Gabar there two visits ago!

Callie we were lucky and the hide was empty with not much happening at the waterhole until the Goshawk arrived.
I am amazed at how frequently you visit KTP - We really battle to get any camping bookings - always full.

Thanks, Gavin. You have to book a year in advance. We do not camp so it is more expensive but we try to get in one visit a year if we can. There is Kruger too. Because we are going to Oz this year, I cancelled my two Kgalagadi trips! But we have 10 days in Kruger for October. We normally go Jan/Feb because then there was the pensioner's discount. We used to go in Decembers when I worked, but lately we had some October trips too. I want to see if we can get May 2025, no discount, days not so long, but a good time. The reason we like October is that there may be babies - but last October was dead - just lions, lions, and lions, not a single small animal except jackals.
You must also check SANS website for Kgalagadi - there are often cancellations and if you are not tied up in work, then it may be possible to get a few days - has happened to us
Love that posture you caught! Nice one.
