It seems like time is flying, we have been very busy, but at the same time there is not a lot to report that would be of interest to most readers. Unfortunately, the poachers tried their hand again on Fri night, and although we were well positioned we missed them again. The good news to come out of it was that although they tried hard to dig out a few warthog burrows, they were unsuccessful so no animals were injured. More good luck than anything to do with us. I find it so frustrating though that with all three incidents that have occurred since I have been here, we have been close each time, but have missed them.
Aside from that the weather is starting to warm up (at last) and all the animals appear happy. For the wildlife lovers among you, below is a selection of odd photos that I have taken.
Everybody stay safe, and look after the environment.

| Warthogs and an ostrich running towards each other on the plains as we drive past. |

| One of our herds of impala. Probably the most common large animal on the Farm. |

| The only shot I have managed to get of a Waterbok so far. This one is a doe, the bucks long slightly curved antlers. |

| This is not an animal! It is a 2000 year old baobab (boab in Australian) adjacent to the Farm. To give you an idea of size, there are actually two people sitting in the lower right branch. |
Oh, wow! I love that tree. I would love to climb it and sit in its branches, too.
