At this very spot, on our first afternoon in the park, and within half an hour of officially beginning our Snow Leopard search, our expert local spotter had exclaimed “ Shan !!” – the Ladakhi name for Snow Leopard.

I was not on one of those lucky groups, but I did get to see a Secretarybird on my Eastern South Africa trip.) My group watched this leopard walking parallel to the road, then back into the grass, and then–whooop–up a tree, where he relaxed while being watched by people in at least twenty vehicles. This is a big young ‘un!

We also were amazed by the sheer volume of road kill we saw, something that Anthony detailed in his blog post , which I highly recommend you read, about the day. We saw Common Gallinules , a nice male Rose-breasted Grosbeak , Bald Eagles , and a Great Horned Owl among the fifty-three species for our checklist. All was not lost though.
