Snap about the leopard, Mello! Just posted!
Reedbuck quite standard on the H-10!

With a huff and a puff I have eventually caught up with B.C. bus.
Jislaaik , once again some amazing shots with lion and leopard being the order of the day.
Are you still using the Canon SX50?
"You could have blindfolded me with a shoe lace"
You certainly have some amazing expressions.
So pleased to hear that no health problems were experienced.

I feel so sorry to hear about your experience at Talamati with the noise of the generator - In fact not the thing one is having in mind when booking a quiet bush camp
Great bird shots and another leopard
Also for the hint where to find the DeLaPorte Leopard - Will look out for her in February

Whew! Seems you write TTs at the same speed as you live your life - full bore!
Just now caught up, so please excuse the "old" comments -
Gotta love your expressions, verbs I have never heard before:
and
"duck up" before school holidays
We
"stuffed up" more photo opportunities
"make a balls up" with the capturing of it
gave the mother leopard
"a pelican" (you explained that one to me before
)
Swazi needs to adopt the Florida Key's refrain:
"No shirt, No shoes, No problem…"
Beautiful family - you are so blessed
Leopard w/ cub!!!! Enchanting.
Leopard on the rock (w/ the clueless visitors
) - gorgeous
But really love the terrapin - unusual, at least for me
Wasp vs. Spider - rare sighting - would love to know more
I know a lot of "hunter wasps" target specific prey (cicadas, katydids, etc), so maybe this is one of them??

hey mr craft...
thanks again for your advice yesterday
that uncle was still not too sure what route to take despite your thorough appraisal of the roads.
i just love the close up pic of the crocodile eye...
great sighting of the hawk eagle and juv squacco..
i think your wasp is a hemipepsis tamisieri.. it's favoured prey is the baboon spider
talamati experience was very unfortunate indeed
hope you get some positive response.....

That chopped up ellie isn't a very nice sight!
Ja, that ellie wasn't a great view, but I suppose they have to "open" it up to allow scavengers access
I'm still not sure if it was rangers, but that was the word at Tshokwane

The leopard is certainly of a lower class than the Lullaby leopard, poor thing.
The Cow is always on the look out for birds
It can drive me crazy sometimes, but I suppose everybody has different interests

Mel wrote:Uh, oh, ja... bad thing to say about a leopard, but it was rather distinctive
looking. Not so much because of the the scars, but the right ear doesn't seem to be at its place on the head and there is also the impression of the right eye being crossed-eyed
Keep the boring custard and the ostrich, but please let me have the harrier-hawk and the green-backed heron
The reedbuck sighting is awesome too. Not very common, I believe?
That leopard was faulty Mel
Now you have seriously confused me as in my opinion we didn't see a harrier hawk or green back heron
That reedbuck clan are on the H10 fairly often, but not elsewhere
