We were in two minds to take the S1 again :O^ :O^ and go down the S65 to see if we would have luck with the cats 0*\ :-? and just as well we did, we spotted this group of 8 lions crossing the road. O/\ O/\ O/\ They were very accommodating as they stopped on the side of the road and licked the dew of the grass ^Q^ ^Q^ , waited for me to change the lens on the camera as the 150-500mm was not able to get them in being so close 0*\ 0*\ and then went down the side and lay around for a bit, ^Q^ ^Q^ ^Q^ we thought they were stalking a herd of Zebra up the way :shock: :shock: :shock: only to see them duck off into the bush where we got them in the background of a rhino sighting ^Q^ O/\ O\/
