Love the pics of the hyena and impala.
Spots!

Even a headless one is better than none.

After a while still no movement from our spotted beauty and we noticed a great number of white backed vultures already to gang up in some of the nearby trees,
however, we also still had to keep her in sight as sometimes she lifted her head behind the branches and leaves
and we keep on waiting and waiting and hoped that she might pay her kill a visit – This was how the tree looked like.
After 3 hours (!) she finally stood up and walked to her kill
and you could hear from everything all the camera buttons from all the people who meanwhile arrived at that sighting
and although we already thought to move to another spot from where she might be better to be seen we finally were happy that we stayed where we parked as now we had the pool position

and Timon snapped more than happily away whilst she started to feed
and gladly from time to time she looked around obviously thinking what a bustle around me
but we were not the only ones who stayed at that sighting that long
nearly each car waited patiently and was finally rewarded
with more than many shots of
a beautiful leopard lady and her kill.
