On the camp_hwange_zimbabwe we have a small family of Black-backed Jackals. The now fully grown pups are very curious, which affords us awesome photographic opportunities.

We have been having good sightings of a clan of Hyenas recently, the youngsters are especially curious!

The sky filled full of white storks was an amazing spectacle and a great way to round off our scouting further afield! #COTF19 #NIWakati

Good things come in three-it’s the day before race day & teams are doing last minute scouting, final route preparations, cramming sleep in, supply shopping & resting their eyes & ears in anticipation for the upcoming 24h. We’ll be vehicle #3 this year #BringIt @flywaychampions

Spending some pre-dusk time at K19 searching through various floaters (Ducks) and other goodies on their way through! @flywaychampions

The Yotvata fields are pumping at the moment but today’s highlight was finally managing to connect with the Bimaculated Larks which are hanging around! Here’s the coordinates for anyone interested! @flywaychampions

Let’s go viral-myself & 3 other young birders (@WYouthBirders) from across the globe are trying our best to generate crucial awareness on the massacre of over 25 MILLION birds across the Mediterranean flyways annually, but we need your help! #ConservationThroughEducation
