Took the dogs for a slow stroll around the farm, they were beside themselves with happiness. As usual I took my camera with me.
Southern bald-headed Ibis, (Geronticus calvus), these birds are restricted to the eastern higher areas of South Africa. Bald-headed ibises are listed as vulnerable.
Speckled pigeon, (Columba guinea) also known as rock pigeons, definitely not a threatened species and across most of Southern Africa.
Another view.
Winter wheat under center pivot irrigation. This a huge pivot and it irrigates fifty hectares, about 2.2 acres to hectare.

Love the Ibis - wow! you're not kidding, that irrigation pivot IS humungous ...
Good to see you up and running again.
Grace and peace.
Wow, I thought I'd seen large irrigation systems here on the Canadian prairie but this might have them beat all hollow, Phillip.
The speckled pigeon is so pretty, but the vulnerable bald-headed ibis is amazing.
