I feel a little like him... Braving the rain. OK, so he might be used to this and he is geared to weather the storm with those. Although apparently these are his summer feathers. Yes, I know this because I took the picture in the summer. But I didn't kno… https://t.co/SMiSeMqMTM
One of nature’s most industrious little creatures, the dung beetle. A protected species when you enter Addo Elephant National Park.
Be careful when driving on the roads. There maybe dung on the road so try to avoid driving over it. You never know what i… https://t.co/KyKs8fkgHO
Bad hair day! With such a mane of hair, it is bound to get in your food at some stage. He looks like he is in bad need of a trip to the hairdressers after feasting on that kill.

And look at that split lip!

The buffalo slipped! A fatal mistake. You can see the realisation of what is going to happen next by its panicked look in its eyes. The dust hadn't even settled before the lioness had pounced on its back. It all happened so quickly. .

When I should be focusing on the statue but all I can see is the light filtering over the dome in the background. Florence, you are glorious. And a spectacular start to the Christmas fun. Merry Christmas all, here is to great day with lasting memories.

“The Guardian of the Store”
If you head along the main street in Prince Albert (South Africa), there is a lovely country style shop with its very own guardian. The four legged kind. With those legendary ears and deep rumble (that only his mom could unde… https://t.co/732TJoEoRW
The last hundred meters to go before the gate and what do we find, but only a pack of wild dogs. And how lucky is this to have wild dogs and elephants in the same shot? These were only a few wild dogs of a pack of 11, that we saw.
There was something in… https://t.co/wspwKIDyqa
Dinosaur or bird? The most skittish, funny looking bird in the Kruger... the helmeted guineafowl.
I have always been amused by their comical characters and busy nature. No time to waste checking out the scenery, bugs to find and predators to keep an eye… https://t.co/NNxeD3lIDH
When you are too busy watching the dad protecting his kill that you almost miss seeing his cubs hiding under a bush just meters away. These adorable faces were such a special sighting in Kruger. I hope they grow up big and strong like their daddy (or mom… https://t.co/yXBTUC0qNe
Respect to these beautiful animals, especially when you come across a mom and her baby so close to the road. And he (she?) was tiny, I was amazed how calm the rest of the herd was. He... not so much. He was curious about the metal box in front of him. An… https://t.co/DS3nQmJMwU
Check out those colours of this roller, almost unreal! It’s always a flash of colour and then they are gone. I always have a mad dash for the camera to try capture before they fly off. This lilac-breasted roller was too kind and gave me an extra couple o… https://t.co/4roXa8XcYl
Each day in the Kruger people will religiously plot on the reserves sightings map, at each camp, all the animals they have seen. Its usually the big five and maybe cheetah or wilddog if they are prevalent in the area. But one thing I noticed this time is… https://t.co/ae0KztMp5W
