It is as if Marula trees were designed for leopards to lounge in.
There is just something indescribable about being in close proximity to a leopard. Especially a leopard who is as relaxed as the Basile.
I have noticed a great deal of Little Bee-eaters zooming around recently and managed to spend some time with this little one. It is interesting to watch which perches these birds will occupy.
Grey-headed Bushshrikes are pretty easy to locate by tracking down their eerie, monotonous whistle. Once you locate it you may often see it hiding in some dense foliage. I was lucky to get a few glimpses of this bushshrike through an open gap amongst the branches.
I have always enjoyed listening to and trying to locate the Klaas's Cuckoo while on my walks. I managed to find this female and she sat patiently as the sun started to disappear.
I love the character of these black-crowned night herons. Either they will tolerate you at close range or give you one big squawk and fly off to safety.
Nothing quite like a pop of colour from the gorgeous Impala Lily during the dry and dusty winter bushveld.
Watching this young male leopard grow up and find his own way has been a cool journey. I remember him being a very playful cub and eventually taking territory on the edge of his father's territory.
Throwback to the Othawa lion pride digging into a massive meal.
