I had previously missed a fair water buck. I missed a difficult shot at an Impala & then shot 2 oribi, one with a very poor head. Rejoined L on the hill about 12. He had seen nothing. I also saw 2 Hartebeeste & several impala & a few water buck. Got back to camp about 3.30. L had a difficult shot at a Bush Buck on the way back. usual thunderstorm. 2 porters reported having seen a very long snake as thick as their bodies probably a python. A Hyena galloped through camp last night, tumbling over our tent ropes on the way.
