A fantastic brownie sighting $O\/$

A brilliant sighting of Safran

but scallywags ruin it

Great sighting of the spotties though and the jackal taking a dump cracked me up

Awesome pics $\O$ What camera setup are you using now

Thanks Mel, I just caught up with this report now. Wow, stunning owl and lion sightings, and I won't even mention Safran

Helping us bide the time till our next trip in 50 nights

For sure it is a pity when the leoprads have been chased away by the hyaenas but sometimes that is the way it is

Especially leopard sightings in the wild can be short and annoying when you searched days for a decent picture and same only it posing seconds

At least the hyaena with the carcass shots are fantastic $\O$

Wow!

Somehow I miss the installments, Mello..

I like the brownie pic, offset to one side. very good!

And a nice camera setup, as BC says!

These hyenas' habit of storing food in water is ghastly...maybe to soften it? the theory is it is to hide it from other predaators...the smell, but I wonder sometimes?

Fabulous brown & spotted hyena sightings

I can understand the leopard frustration but even so, what a magnificent sighting $O/\$ $O/\$

Love your naming the juvenile delinquent Ugly Kid Joe

Cool bird in flight pics

A brownie AND a leopard visit with an old friend, Safran -

$O\/$ , but then the day continued to get even more interesting. What do the hyenas "do" about all the mud on their meal?

Weird.

The jackal potty pic is a stitch! You need to hang it in your bathroom at home.

But at least the hyenas put on a great show too! Awesome pics.

So true, Flutts... but it took me quite some time to really appreciate it. And honestly - who wouldn't be totally annoyed getting hyenas when one could have had leopards

Why, thanks, BC

I'm still on the same camera setting than before. Maybe a bit more adventurous with the settings (and sometimes I pay for it dearly

),
but it's still the Nikon D5100 that I've had for some years now. I'm toying with the idea of getting a better one but so far I'm too cheap to afford the costs. After
all I do that for my personal pleasure and not for selling, so what's the point in paying a five digit amount for the next camera. At least that's what I tell myself
for now

Of course not... it's an antelope not a cat
