First one, an African Hawk Eagle...

The snake looks like a long grilled white Swiss sausage

Hi everyone and thanks again for the comments.
As you would have noticed, I didn't post last weekend. The reason being I was in Hoedspruit at the airfield. From now I'll probably be posting a bit less here, as I will be spending more time at the airfield with my new baby. I have purchased a 50% share in a light aircraft and will be getting my licence current again.
Anyway, I have a few pics taken over the past two weeks.
First up, a few Kudu that are keeping an eye on something...

Rutting season is getting under way, this ram was obviously denied by the ewe, thus his show of disgust...
