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.

Birders sure know how to have fun.
So do some birds
We had similar experiences with fearless birds in South Africa! >grin<
Flocks of birders certainly know how to mob together.

Hi John, coming to you from Fountain Hills today, hence the late start due to laptop and time zone change hiccup! I like that shot of the birders. I have one similar to it from Sacramento years ago as people gathered for leaf-peeping! It will be interesting to know what bird brought them together. Here is mine this week:

We spent some time in Fountain Hills last year as it was pretty close to the condo we rented in Scottsdale.
If you haven’t already discovered Phil’s Filling Station, it’s a great place for cheesecake. This time of year, they also have a Sunday classic car get-together. Check it out.
Oh I will, thanks for the suggestion!

Birders can find fun anywhere — even if we don’t see what they’re looking at! Here’s my entry for today:
