Ugh... it's pretty tough when you have a really excellent photo, but there is someone who got the better sighting (and a good photo of it as well).

[Lisbeth]

Are you participating, Mel?

[Mel]

... no

Unless I'll have totally special sighting in April

[Lisbeth]

Good luck!

That sandgrouse shot is excellent and definitely not easy to capture

But I'm team Mark Kaptein and the Kgalagadi cheetahs

That photo is Hanri with her cubs Miles and Misty and Corinne with her three cubs. Hanri and Miles initiated the hunt and the other five eventually caught up with them. Just awesome!
