This morning I went out for a 25min jog as the schedule dictated and as I was nearing home and coming through "the dip" as we call it....I caught a whiff of something musky. I looked around but saw nothing so carried on and a few meters further I got the smell again. (I must say here that I have a very bad sense of smell after a wee accident with some hydrochloric acid in Dad's shed...so for me to smell something means it was fresh).
Anyway I run through the dip and as I am coming up the hill a couple of young impala run out of the bush to my right closely followed by two wildogs! The impala raced through the fence around our place and I ran along side the two dogs as they tracked their prey up onto the ridge.
The impala broke back out of the fence and I dropped back a little expecting to see the kill but the impala used a small group of people waiting for a lift at the roadside as cover and left the "hounds" standing there looking bemused.
They turned around and ran past me, back into the dip and were gone!!
Wow!
