Humming bird (moth) and Bat (eared fox)

we had a drive in the morning bringing Akil to the airstrip, we had nice elephants.
Bakari was driving and Mark was on the guide seat, I was trying to start training them.
They want to learn and this is the most important thing.
all the morning the sky has been covered with clouds with some small sparse precipitation.
Amur falcons are all over the place, together with a great quantity of varous birds of prey.
also for bat eared foxes it is a period of abundance and happiness, we saw a mother and a puppy close to their den, they were very comfortble with the car and was great to see the big ears moving for every litlle sound that we could not even imagine.
.
We went out also the afternoon the clouds were gone and the light was majestic.
A nice pair of bulls elephants walked slowly in front of the car to sop feeding on lush grass just close by... was a good sighting.
The humming bird moths are going o a feeding frenzy on the newly blossoming prety ladies (Cleome), it is amazing to see this small insects hovering in fron of a flower and protruding the small proboscis into it.
.

I forgot anther good sighting, Egyptian mongoose at breakfast point...
