Cellpic Sunday – Birders at the Trading Post

Birders spot a target.

Kruger National Park, South Africa.

On several occasions, we stopped at Tshokwane Trading Post and Picnic Site for breakfast while on our morning game drive. One late morning, we saw a gathering of birders who sighted a target over the picnic area. As I walked across the parking lot, I only had my cell phone, so I couldn’t see their target clearly, but the birders were obviously interested in the bird flying over.

As I concluded the Kruger National Park posts on Fridays a couple of days ago, I forgot to mention that I have many more photos of birds taken during our stay in the park. I’ll focus on the various birds we saw in a future Travel Tuesday.

About the photo: Those birders were the only organized birding group we saw in the park while we were there. I captured the image with my Samsung S23U. The photo was cropped and minimally edited in Adobe Lightroom Classic.

I encourage fellow bloggers to create their own Cellpic Sunday posts. I never have a specific topic for this feature, and the only rules are that the photo must be captured with a cell phone, iPad, or another mobile device… If you have an image from a drone or even a dashcam, that’s also acceptable. The second rule is to link your challenge response to this post or leave a comment here with a link to your post in the comment. Oh, also, you don’t have to post it on a Sunday.

  17. The birds certainly aren’t bothered by all the birders, are they? We people are so curious, and isn’t that a great part of being alive. We passed a cow on the road the other day who had the same curiosity and zest for living, only he was people watching as the cars drove by his pasture.
