The servitude was mowed last Friday; on Saturday, on our way to the Parkrun, we stopped so that I could photograph a Black-headed Heron foraging for food in the grass.

I noticed a slight movement out of the corner of my eye and moved the camera in that direction.
Duiker (female) We now have a pair on the land!
Along the regional road to the junction where we meet the main road, Grant stopped (again!) for me to photograph this beautiful raptor atop a tree.
Long-crested Eagle
Alongside a farm field, we stopped to listen to (and photograph) this lark below.
Rufous-naped Lark
In the next field we stopped to watch the antics of these piglets
