ORANGE EYES

This is my favorite picture from this afternoon’s game drive. My Thanda Safari Wellness Weekend guests were fascinated by the beautiful orange eyes of this Southern White-faced Owl.

DINNER

When I picked up a stone which was resting against a tree in the Thanda House garden I interrupted this Scorpion having his Grasshopper-meal. It was fascinating to watch him trying to find a new hiding place to finish his dinner in peace and quiet.

I took this picture with iPhone which works very well for these type of macro shots.

DIRECTION

These two Striated (Green-backed) Herons were focused on the same thing at the same time.

VERY GREEN

This is an aerial picture of the beautiful green Thanda Safari savanna. I took this picture this afternoon after we had heavy rain for the last few days.

… and our waterholes are full 🙂

SNATCH!

One Nile Crocodile was trying to snatch a fish out of another Crocodile’s mouth.

Result: They both missed the fish 😊

SYNCHRONOUS

Our two males acting in unison after having a drink from a rain puddle. I could not have choreographed this any better 😊

Pakamisa Birding Weekend

I am participating in a another birding weekend at Pakamisa. If you are a keen birder and/or interested in photography then this is a great opportunity for an exciting weekend. Going on birding walks and drives with Ian is great fun! And I will be available to answer any wildlife photography related questions, not just about birds:-).

Just contact Isabella at res@pakamisa.co.za if you are interested.
