For a hung over guy you got a pretty steady hand when it comes to photography

Nice pix

Very good selection, Droncky!

Interesting the foam nest and the vulture antics.

Maybe you will feel better tomorrow so won't need to take leave!

WoW, lovely, Sprocky,

either the birds, the warthog, the impala or the jackal - What great sightings and shots

Hey, thanks all. Well, I have had a few busy days behind the camera, some good sightings while on a few days leave.

What a great way to spend your leave days

Early yesterday morning, while having a cup of coffee, I received word of a Lion pride that was very vocal and a lot of action. I left my coffee, grabbed the camera and headed to the area. There were two other cars at the sighting, so nice when everyone at the sighting behaves and considers others. The first Lion that I saw was a dark manned male, I then noticed the female, they were a breeding pair slightly distant from the rest of the pride. This is the male...

I left them and moved around to the rest of the pride. The other male partner in the coalition was with the pride...
