I love sitting with relaxed Leopards and observe these beautiful creatures observing me 😊

RELAXED
THE MOON AND THE OWL
It looks like the picture on the right has been photoshopped, but it has not. I took these pictures of a Spotted Eagle Owl under the bright moon yesterday evening. Thanks to two of the birding weekend guests at Pakamisa for holding the spotlights to illuminate the Owl.

RARE AND PRICKLY
On the way back from a ‘Pakamisa Birding Weekend Owl spotting night drive’ we encountered this African brush-tailed Porcupine and its mate. It was quite relaxed and posed for a few pictures in the spotlight which is unusual for these prickly rodents. Its partner disappeared very quickly into the bush 😊

AFTERNOON SUN
It is a pure pleasure to watch a herd of Elephants in the late afternoon sun. The Thanda Safari guests enjoyed this encounter with the some of our gentle giants very much.

MOON AND GIRAFFE
On the way home from yesterday evening’s game drive I took this image of a Giraffe silhouette in front of the moon. Twilight mood on Thanda!

LITTLE MISCHIEF
For the way this little Baboon boy behaved as I watched his troop for a long time he could definitely be called ‘Little Mischief’.

PS: Birding Quiz: 2021
I have been asked a few times now if the participants of the previous quiz (2020) are automatically added to the new quiz? The answer is no, as I have deleted the old list a while ago. So, if you would like to get the quiz question then please send me a WharsApp (+27633294323) and I will add you 🐦
BIRDING QUIZ 2021
I will start a new bird quiz.
On occasion I will post a bird picture for the quiz participants to ID.
If you would like to participate then please send me a short WhatsApp message (+27633294323) and I will add you to the distribution list for the quiz.
Have fun!

MEMORIES
Sometimes I just look at some older pictures to remind me of great sightings like this one 😊 (2011 at Kings Camp in the Timbavati).
