Happy World Leopard Day!

This stunning young male had hunted down a Springbok in the Kgalagadi, and was satisfied after a good meal.

Sightings of these mystical creatures are not common, leopards decide themselves whether they'll be seen or not...

Wildlife and Nature Series, Lockdown 2020, Day 35

So, today is the final day of full lockdown, so thought to mark it with one of my favourite wildlife shots.

This is a leopard in the Okavango Delta. Some think this was taken at night with a flash, but no, it was actually taken during the day. I've converted it to a high contrast black and white, and then darkened the background.

It's not often a leopard comes along, and looks you squarely in the eyes. This was taken in the Okavango Delta in Botswana. I'm really looking forward to a trip out there again.

The African black oystercatcher (Haematopus moquini), this is a near-threatened species living on the shores of Southern Africa.

As they nest in the sand above the high water mark, the beach driving ban, introduced in South Africa some time ago, saved these splendid creatures from certain extinction.

This guy was photographed on the Oystercatcher Trail, somewhere between Mossel Bay and Gouritsmond. Interestingly, they eat muscles and not oysters.

Wildlife and Nature Series, Lockdown 2020, Day 19

Jackals on an Eland carcass.

During times of drought, eland tend to migrate southwards. It's a natural instinct, as they know there's water at the Orange river. Unfortunately, there are now fences in the way and they can't get further south.

This means they wander aimlessly in the southern parts of the park, gradually getting weaker. They eventually become easy pickings for the lions, with jackals and vultures cleaning up the scraps.

The day the Lions came to visit.

So, a couple of these guys came wondering through camp. It was just after sunrise, before we had even set off for the game drive... Recent photographic safari with @hannes_lochner

Springboks at a dusty sunrise.

When you're out in nature, there is magic around every corner. A blend of such beautiful animals at sunrise is always going to look great. Throw in some branches and a whole lot of dust, and you've got magic. This is why I love the Kgalagadi.

I just love doing black and white conversions. But not every photo is a good candidate, and it takes a lot of effort to perfect the final outcome.
