I have had a very lazy day today. It is sunny but pretty chilly and I am not feeling too good today.
Woke up with a splitting headache and I think I will be in bed rather early tonight too.
Going to curl up in front of the fire now and read my book for a while. Will try and catch up with your photos later when hopefully I will feel a bit better.
This is another photo taken last Thursday at Birubi. Isn't Sid a handsome chap. I love camels they always look so superior. Sid is very well behaved.
Great shot! Sid is very handsome and has definitely more hair than the camels here. Just wondering what that "thingy" by his nose is. I haven't seen/noticed that before.
Sid does look very superior doesn't he, I think he is gorgeous and I love his curly hair, looks like he has had a perm.
@ingrid01 The 'thingy' by his nose is a nose peg. Camels can't have a bit between their teeth like horses do so some have nose pegs to help steer them in a certain direction. I gather it is only used by the leader of the camel train when they are off on the dunes and not always used then I believe as these camels are so well behaved. Generally they are steered by the rope that is attached to the strap around their nose and neck.

I hope you feel better soon.

Glad you’re felling better today ☺️
Hope you soon feel better.
