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!

Please note: These pictures will not be posted on Instagram/Facebook/MyBlog

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).

TAKE-OFF

I love Kingfishers and I recently took these pictures of a Woodland Kingfisher at Thanda Safari.

FYI: We have an exciting Birding Weekend coming up in April. If you are interested to come and do some birding and bird photography at Thanda then please contact reservations@thanda.co.za.

I will be there all weekend to answer wildlife and bird photography related questions and to give photography lessons.

A ROUGH AFFAIR

For Lions mating is a somewhat rough affair.

Frist, the male’s penis is barbed which cannot be fun for the female.

Second, at the end of most copulations the lady gives the gentleman a good smack in the face with her clawed paw.

And third, they mate for a few days running – in average every 20 to 30 minutes – until they are both completely exhausted and very hungry.

And during all this time the male has to make sure that no other male gets close to them and that his lady does not move to close to another admirer.

A Lion’s life, a rough life!

JUST A BIT CLOSER

… to the sun.

Even if it meant climbing on top of another Terrapin who was sun-bathing itself 😊
