Grand!

Do you check the spot patterns to recognise them, Bushy?

Looks jolly dry there.

Nice to have a plan come together!

Wow just love the lion cubs . I recon Lisbeth is right there is also some luck in these sightings as well

[Pumbaa]

That leopard lady is a beauty, Bushcraft,

and lucky you that she stopped long enough for a couple of shots

That lion cub is a cutie

I'm sure some leopard sightings you go and search for as you know them but how lucky can you be when they just pop out from no where and then stand in front of your car

[Flutterby]

Fantastic leopard sighting! I wondered the same as Mel...if that car in the distance saw the leopard?

This looks like a great lion sighting!

With regards to LITs I have never managed to spot my own....come to think of it, neither has the Brat....only LOGs!

[Bushcraft]

Thanks Lisbeth, Mel, RP, Roger, Pumbaa, Alf & Flutts for commenting

Yes, we are fairly lucky, but you also make your own luck

That approaching car did get to see her as she hung around long enough for them to arrive

Yes RP, I ID via the spots which are supposedly like a finger print.

A little off the TT track, but some may find this interesting and I will use "Sausage" as the example


Junior Sausage 2010, he actually followed our windscreen wipers and moved his head in time with them which was rather funny and then I thought he wanted to get in the car as he walked right up to the Cow's side and then walked around and sat at my window. I was tempted to scratch him on the head

As you can see, we have a long history with a few leopard in the south, I just hope Sausage can keep Thicky Ricky under control


Research Luck A little of both
