The big, the beautiful and the cute

The last few days have showed the immense spectrum of wildlife one can see within a very short timeframe on our reserve. See below a small selection out of dozens we saw. It’s always hard to make a pick, but hey, it’s everyone’s turn. 😉

The last days have been very volatile in terms of weather … and there are sporadic outbursts of very strong rains, lasting an hour or two, followed by shunshine right afterwards. Our guests got caught once, which led to a lot of laughters … rain of such magnitude is actually a sight to be seen in itself.

As a result, nature is now finally starting to green up properly. Not too late!
