Africa Wild

7 April 2016.

Today started off very well with our first ever sighting of Rains two sons who by know had formed their own coalition and were roaming around on their own. They were very far off therefore we had to zoom way up and then crop to try and get some sort of photo.











This Pin-tailed Whydah sat still long enough for me to get a shot.



Is this guy blind in this eye?



A large crocodile at Mankwe Dam.



7 April 2016 to be continued.

Cheetah

Great cheetah sighting

Wouldn't know about the kingfisher............sometimes birds have double eye eyelids i.e a membrane that they use when diving

Great shot of the whydah

Again great sightings

So lucky to see Rain's cubs!

Rain and rain!

Hey, are there wild dog there too?

Nice pic sizes, stf!
