Your photos are getting better and better by the trip, methinks! And looking at the outer conditions that were (once again O** ) not favourable,
I really applaude you for the Quality of your Pictures! ^Q^ Always great to look at them. :-)

Great lion & ellie pics Pumbaa. ^Q^

I've still not caught up with woodlands kingfishers, but did get my first ever carmine bee-eaters this year. Love your pics of them both. \O

I love all these different animals together at the water hole. The landscape does not look very Krugerish :-? but then again, I have never been there.

The tiny ellies are a joy to look at O/\ O/\

The pic of the korhaan is very pretty ^Q^ ^Q^
Defenitely far too dry this year, Lisbeth - Indeed no Kruger landscape with all the green vegetation and high grass :O^

Ja, those kingfishers are a pest! @#$

That male lion won't sleep much while in mating mode...he is bored and waiting for the wife to wake up and indicate she's ready for more "games"... :twisted:
It took indeed quite a while until she was again ready O**
