Hi everyone. I'm back again with a few pics in between all my time being spent at the airfield.

Yesterday evening we had our monthly sundowners at the river. When I got home I started making dinner, when suddenly, I heard crazy growling sounds. I ran out with the spotlight, expecting to see Lions...but no, it was a mating pair of Leopards right next to my house. :shock:

I went back in to get the camera, but when I got back outside the female dashed off and left the male on his own. I managed to get a few pics of him, but please excuse the quality, I was shooting at 25600 ISO.

Up early this morning to go flying, still on a high about the Leopards next to the house, I got a pride of about 12 Lions. :-)

I won't post comments, just the photos...

And then a decent sized pride later on. Incredible. You must have been flying high even without your vessel. lol
