The crocodile is watching

We called into a hide in Pilanesberg and as we were walking, I noticed this crocodile just laying in the water. As we were sitting watching some water birds Peter said that he thought it was going to try and catch a large type of catfish so I went over and waited for the strike. It struck and missed and when we saw the size of the crocodile we were amazed - so big. I tried to take photos but had the 100-400 lens on and it was too close. It then started slowly swimming to a branch in the water where there were a few water birds sitting. It made a strike at a low branch, but also missed.
