Hi everyone, Day 4 of lockdown.

I still haven't been out on a proper drive yet, not the best weather for photography. During the last few days I have been taking photos in and around the house.

Day 1, I had Warthogs on the lawn. This one taken from my bedroom window...

On Day 2, there were lots of Impala around the house. This little one took the opportunity to suckle off mommy...(taken from my braai deck)

Right, Day 4, this morning. I went down to the river as I heard Lions at 03h30, very close to the house in the direction of the river. Unfortunately, I couldn't find them. We are busy with a Lockdown Birding challenge, on my way down I got this Red-backed Shrike...

It's just the best lockdown pastime

Good stuff, Sparky!

That warthog is old and grey!

I could do with your kind of lockdown

Nice to see the impala lambs.

Happy bird challenge
