Africa Wild

Cute kudu cow and the most stupid-looking bird in the world

Nice lion sighting! I just don't like the look of them

I have also been to Denmark this year, but it was not hot when I was there Where did you visit?

Great shots again, Pumbaa!

That pond with the dabchick is a favourite of Dwarf and mine, will maybe go there this weekend!

The lion and kudu sightings are impressive!

More time with the Lions all by yourself -what luck .

We always laugh seeing the Guinea fowl due to a private joke of seeing a warning sign many years ago calling them Boppop and we were trying to figure out if that was the sound they make when they run into the car

We are always staying in Spodsbjerg on Langeland - As already said it was a nice and relaxing stay but far too hot

That is indeed a good one - Luckily so far we did not hear that sound whilst driving

It indeed took a while until we got enough shots and it is hard to keep our eyes off from their beauty





and also more guinea fowls wanted to be captured as well – Funny on one day they disappear immediately and today we already had the third time luck in taking pictures from them.



Duke’s waterhole is also such a lovely place we already looking forward to spend time when in that area and today we could watch and capture a nice displaying spectacle of that bird. First same only sat on a branch



with his tail-feathers blowing in the wind



but then a female appeared on the scene as well and he started to behave mad.





It was extreme difficult to choose favourites as nearly all shots Timon took were impressive so excuse the masses of them





when in the air it looked as if the male was standing in the air.





Lots of other cars appeared as well but obviously had no interest in watching the show we stayed



with the couple until the spectacle stopped and both flew away.

After a while we also left this lovely stop and carried on and were happy to again photograph a yellow throated longclaw indeed a bird who we not often see,



had fun in watching a group of starlings





followed by a spotted flycatcher



as well as a common waxbill.





Birdingwise it was a more than lovely drive but gamewise it was an extreme quiet drive on our beloved S28 at least a herd of buffaloes was around but still very sleepy and very well hidden



and only nearly at the end of that road lots of zebras together with giraffes came across.





Then we were already on the tar road close to Crocodile Bridge camp and gate and here masses of zebras as well as impalas were bustling around





and luckily they can be watched and photographed extreme close to the road



such as this trio



whereas others needed a rest.



to be continued……………..

Gorgeous birds and pics! Especially of the whydahs and the arrow-marked babblers
