Rietvlei photography

I will look out for the ODP’ers doing the Rietvlei patrol. If any person spots the Rietvlei leopard(s) please let me know.
Now there’s a cool name for rugby team.

From what I last heard the lazy horses were out of general population till the lammetjies got grooter - not sure if theyre back in yet.

Those guys have been tagged so much they stay at least 1km away from any human. Pitty.

We saw a Fish eagle at the Coots Corner hide (first hide as you come in). Also spotted black-back jackal but now hippo yet and no leopard but Coots corner make provide lots of BIF oppertunities

Hi Guys

Where and how do I get a ODP sticker?

[bomtek]

You can phone ODP. Telephone number under the contact section at the top. Order a cap at the same time, they go very well together

There are no Leopards at Rietvlei, only 2 very skittish Cheetah.

Correction, there are no Leopards contained in the reserve, they come and go like on any farm.

Dankie Piet

Are the Cheetah back in the main camp now? And why only two, what happened to the other three?

I visit the Rietvlei Nature Reserve regularly but don't for one minute believe that there are any cheetahs in the reserve... Stickers on the vehicles is a good idea and mine is on my Kombi so stop and say hello. See you in Rietvlei.

[Doonside]

Will be there too from 5.30 to about 8 - Burgundy Jetta....

Very sorry to hear your bad news. If they did not take more it would appear that they were disturbed.

Happened in Centurion, Wierda Park. Yes, Terrence I also think that. The sad news is the emotional trauma my wife is in. I'm really p%ssed off about my Rietvlei trip. Anyway, could have been worse. Thank you all for the support.
