We spent a lovely afternoon at a nearby salt spring on Sunday. The area is used by various wildlife species who come to drink and make use of the coarse grasses that grow there. At this time of year, hundreds of Crowned Cranes congregate to conduct their ritual breeding dance. At this stage, the birds are still massing and there is little mating behaviour, but the sight of 150 Cranes on the lush green grass is still beautiful.
On the way back from the pans, we enjoyed the beautiful evening light splashing shadows through the vast area of cathedral Mopane trees.
