Kudu, they tell me you can age a Kudu by the number of twists in the antlers, so this one is about 4 years old.

A friend of mine recently rescued a spotted owlet here in Thailand. He found it laying by a remote country roadside, so he took it home, built an aviary for it and nursed it back to health.
The owl now calls for him at certain times of day, answers when my friend talks to it but is very friendly towards him and relies on him for food, which means it can probably never be released into the wild again and survive.
A wonderful bird though and a real pleasure to see one up so close and personal.

Thats a wonderful, sharp, clear image Sthomas450, very nice against the pure blue background.

Swans are bullies and vandals but also quite pretty!

This photo was taken about 12 years ago on one of my old cameras, in the Kruger. It's not great but I think it has something?

Dassie - now known as the Rock Hyrax or Rockhopper, is a medium-sized terrestrial mammal native to Africa and the Middle East. It is the African elephant's closest living relative, in spite of the size difference. This was taken on top of "Table mountain."
