32 ELEPHANT

Not much to report so far this month. We have had no new sightings of the dogs, leopard, cheetah etc.
As the water in the park dries up the elephant are coming more and more to the dam to drink. Yesterday we had this herd of 32 which is always good to see.
A pygmy kingfisher flew into one of the windows a few minutes ago and seemed to be dead. Luckily he was only stunned and has just flown away after a few minutes of peace in a box.

MORE PAINTED DOG SEEN IN KASUNGU

Things have been quiet for the last few days however some tourists from the UK were on safari in the park this morning and came across 3 painted dog about 10km north of where they were last sighted. They were seen around 0630 hrs and in the same vicinity there were several kudu which are one of the painted dogs main prey. I have to assume that these dogs were from the main pack of 17 seen about 9 days ago. Pictures were taken by Olly Worley.
