400th Post! - Waterhole, Day and Night

2008.09.05
At the height of the day it's just chaos down there...

They wander here and there.... no discipline at all...


Then an oryx traffic jam developed....

A bit of a stand-off ensued....

Then it all kicked off...

Even when the docile springbok arrived...

They soon lost their tempers...

Only when the stripy Eeyore's came along was calm restored....

But then everyone left as the sun went down....

Leaving the stage free for the big boys to come out of the darkness...

And for the awkward ones to have a drink....

And finally for the stars of the show to make an appearance....

So rare to see during the day....

But at night the whole family comes out to play!

I apologise for the bad quality of the night shots but, in my defence, the light was very low, and I just couldn't resist taking a few pics even though I knew the results would be less than ordinary.

Also, I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their interest, comments, support over the last 400 posts.

Thanks.
