Just cute …
Annoying Birds
Sometimes the little birds are just too much!
This Impala shook off the Red-billed Oxpeckers which where looking for ticks in its pelt.

Possessive
These two were mating for a while now (as Lions do every 20-30 min for a few days). And the male’s brother is always nearby, but in a respectful distance to the mating couple.
Yesterday afternoon I observed the scene for a few hours and realized that the female was trying to get closer to the second – non mating – brother, but got pushed off by her possessive mate as soon as she tried to move into the submissive brothers direction.
Lion family life live!

HOT DAY AT THE WATERHOLE
Yesterday midday I stopped by one of our largest waterholes and stayed for an hour.
It was an impressive scene with a large bull Elephant bathing, over two hundred Cape Buffalo relaxing around the water, many dazzles of Burchell’s Zebra and many herds of Blue Wildebeest coming and going, sounders of Warthogs playing in the mud, and many different bird species having a drink.
I only had my iPhone with me so I took a few video clips instead of my usual photography. What a Sunday treat!
I wish all of you a good week ahead!

A Cheetah Study!
This evening we had a beautiful Cheetah sighting on Thanda Safari. These are a few of the images I took of these incredible creatures. Have a good weekend!
The pictures were taken with a Canon EOS R6 Camera and a Canon EF 1/500 f/4 L lens.

Angry Bird!
This Yellow-billed Hornbill had a very serious expression when it took its afternoon sand bath!

Looking for the ladies!
Yesterday morning our two dominant male Lions were scanning a valley and following a scent trail in search for two young females. We had tracked the them for a few kilometers when we found them on top of a hill displaying themselves in all their ‘majesty’. But they never caught up with the ladies on that morning.
