Africa Wild

A vulture with a "price tag"

Seriously, I've always been wondering if those large labels don't bother the birds

Lovely birds and great to find lions.

Very nice indeed, Sprotjie!

Th prinia must have been a difficult shot!

And mountain lion and vultures and and!

Thanks again Sprocky,

love the shot of the black collared barbet and the kudu and stunning to spot the lioness on top of the rock

Thanks for all the comments again. Last week I didn't post anything as I had a guest here for a few days. I did however manage to get a few pics.

I'll start with a few of last weeks pics. First up, a bearded couple of peckers...
Kudu cow portrait...
These birds are totally over photographed, but this one was in perfect light...
This Kudu bull spent a few days at around the house. Here he is outside my bedroom window, giving a clear view of his broken horn...
Next batch, my special sighting this morning...

This morning was weird. The weather was not great, overcast and warm. I knew it would clear later and I was undecided on whether I must go on drive or not. A few minutes later I received a message reporting on a Lion sighting. Mind made up and off I went. There were three Lions, two males and one Lioness.

Here is the majestic older male...
The young male gave a nice yawn...
The Lioness looked completely relaxed...
And another shot of the big male...
Until next time, from the banks of the Olifants...

Lovely birds

Poor kudu who obviously lost the fight

How lucky to see lions so close again

You can always recognize that kudu

Nice lion trio

Very good, Sparky!

Hope your guest behaved?

Never seen a broken kudu like that!

And great lions.

The kudu horn

It suits the older male better when you take a close up without his "balding" forehead.
