Have a good evening!

THE DAILY POST – RAIN AT LAST!

Last night we had over 110mm rain. The rain gauges overflowed in the night, so we are not quite sure how much it really was but it was most welcome.

This Vervet Monkey enjoyed himself in the grass in front of my home this morning. He harvested insects in plenty 😊

THE DAILY POST – PETS?

I get often asked the question if I have any pets. And the answer is no. Unless one counts the frog sitting on my door hunting bugs and an Nyala bull who has figured out how to walk over the cattle grid at Thanda Houses’ gate without getting zapped by 10,000 volt. He is going in and out as he pleases and he is very relaxed when I pass him walking from my office to my room. And then there are all the creatures on the 14,000ha (35,000 acres) game reserve surrounding my home.

Conclusion: No pets needed 😊

THE DAILY POST – A SORRY SIGHT

Thanda’s dominant male Lions presented for a sorry – but still impressive – sight all doused in rain water after 24 hours of drizzle.

THE DAILY POST – WITH ONE LOOK

From my archives: When mum disciplined her cub because it gave her this look back. Most people would melt away and forget what just happened when subjected to these eyes, but Cheetah mums are of sterner stuff 😊

THE DAILY POST – PERFECT LIGHT

The sun only came through for a few minutes on this overcast and rainy day but the lighting was perfect for this Giraffe image.

Have a good day!

PS: Yesterday’s bird was a Wahlberg’s Eagle 🦅
