Well, you will have to spend every free minute in the park in due time to find those cubs. :-0

I took a trip into the park again yesterday, hoping that I might find Gina and news on the possibility of cubs. She was in hiding the whole day, but the staff in the park who I talked to all agree that she has had cubs. She must be hiding them really well... let's hope they survive the perils of a new-born lion cub :-)

Of course, I was also very keen to test out some new camera gear, which I was very pleased with. Here are some of the bird shots from the day.

Super birds and equally super news on Gina! O/\
Curious how many she gave birth to.
Hope Gina will be good to you and show her offspring to you soon. ^Q^

Thanks everyone O0

Although we didn't find Gina, I have seen photos from some people who saw her yesterday and it does look like she's still nursing so there's a good chance of the cubs appearing soon O:V O:V

We did however get treated to a visit from Roy. I'm not sure where his partner-in-crime Nomad had disappeared to, as he was on his own. He seemed to enjoy our company which was nice :-0

Quick stop to check who else had been that way
