Very nice pose here, Oosty!
Peter ~ You book the hide for about R800/day. Three people can use it at the same time. Winter time is best but it is VERY popular and overbooked. Best to try and go together with someone, if possible. The Giant's Castle NR chalets are reasonable and you can eat there to. The road (last part) to the park sucks with plenty potholes, but you should know how to dodge them.

Thank you, Sir. Not often one sees two raptors together on the same branch. I was lucky that day.Great shot of those guys Rassie

Our smallest raptor, about sparrow sized, but more robust. I think there is an Aisian or Chinise pygmy too that is just smaller or about the same size. Kgalagadi Transfrontier park and Mokala NP.

Thanks. Speaking for myself, I found that the closer one gets to the animal the better the image. The more one crops the more you lose image quality.
