about 20mm of rain on the weekend. Everything is in order at the lodge
13:45 Went to the rye grass field to check on the progress of planting. We could not plant today, because of all the rain, the field was too wet and the tractor will get stuck.
14:15 Went to the fence to look for faults. Some of the corner post have been pulled out of the ground by the cable. The ground was wet so it made it easy for the high strung cable to pull it out, we’re going to have to put more reinforcing on.

12:30 After that we went to the rye grass field and sprayed all along the fence, until the fence at the border of Gevonden and Weenan Safaris.

07:30 Report
08:30 Saw 20 Impalas near the workshop going up the mountain
08:50 Saw 1 Impala ewe on her own in the bushes at the foot of the mountain
09:00 I turned back and as I got to the place where the ewe was I saw 2 Impala rams sizing each other up for a fight.
09:20 Went to the lodge and on the way I came across a group of 24 Impalas
09:25 Not 500m from them I saw 3 Blesbok, I presume it was Bes, Les and Shaun
Rounding the corner on the way to the lodge I saw 5 Giraffes on the little hill near the road
09:40 Just as I turned back from the lodge a Impala ram was chasing a female across the road, he had a fresh cut under his eye and it was starting to swell, no doubt he got that from fighting for the female he was chasing
10:00 Going back the way I came I saw the 5 Giraffes again, 3 of them was chewing on old bones lying in the veld.
10:25 I went down to fetch the camera, when I got back, there was now 11 Giraffes, 5 babies and 6 adults.
10:47 Followed them around for a while and just when I was about to go down the road to get in front of them the 12th giraffe showed up.
11:00 I looked to my left and saw that the Waterbuck male was on his own near the Tugela river
11:15 Got a call from Mandla to go and help him with his report
13:10 Went to the rye grass field
13:20 On the way there was 2 groups of 3 Impalas each fighting in the road, two will tackle each other and the third will wait to see who loses and then jump in and attack that one
13:30 On the side of the rye grass field I saw a group of 40 Impala, 1 male and 39 ewes and lambs
13:55 Went to the pond at the foot of the mountain
14:25 Saw nothing there except for a Grey Heron looking for food in the water grass
14:35 When I came back there was 6 Zebras with the group of 20 Impalas from this morning

13:30 Got home and phoned Cindy the headmistress that I have delivered the cement and they can start fixing the floor
14:00 Went to the rye grass field to observe 3 Blesbok with a herd of Impala. The Blesbok seem to mingle quite well with the Impala and the Impalas don’t mind having them around. Only the ram seems to be a bit cautious around them, butI think it’s because of the rutting season and all the rams are a bit high strung
15:30 On the way back to the house I saw 7 of the Waterbuck in the big stream that connects with he Tugela river
16:00 Picked up Michael and Vukani and went with them to pick up the sprayers. On the way we saw 2 more Waterbuck and a sounder of 8 Warthogs, 1 male, 1 female and 6 babies

07:30 Report
08:30 Went with Michael and one of the new guards to the back of the mountain to clear roads, while we were back there we saw 2 Hartebeest and 5 Kudus
12:30 Got home, walked into the garden to find a herd of Impalas and 6 Zebras on the lawn, grazing. The Zebra are getting use to the surroundings and are not afraid anymore. Saw one baby Impala without a mother, will keep an eye on him.
13:30 Went to check on the cochineal I put on the prickly pears all over the reserve, the insects are spreading nicely over the leaves.
15:00 Went to the pond at the foot of the mountain to check on the giraffe carcass, the jaw bone have been eaten and part of the chest, but there is still a lot of giraffe left.
15:45 Saw 2 vultures flying over mount sully, so I went up to the mountain to see if I can get a better view of them, they circled a few times and then were of.
16:00 I got home to see if I can find the baby Impala without it’s mother, I saw him with the same herd, he is still very young and was one of the very late lambs born. Luckily he keeps to the group of Impala’s, but I fear he will need to drink soon,he/she still looks strong so hopefully he/she will survive the night.
