Kwando Files (Images from Lebala/Lagoon)

[wilddog]

Another great talent finally exposed on ST. What a joy all these images are, in patricular the hyena reflected in the water at sunset or sunrise............and the sighting of a pangolin. I believe it is a bit of a rarity! Thanks Hari for gaining your new skills in posting on ST. It has been worth the wait.

Impala in flight

 

From memory, this was while the dogs were out hunting in the vicinity; this animal tries to get away from the area.

I would not have thought cheetah would have attempted a tssesebe. Amazing

Hi! I think being 3 makes it easier to go for large prey and they adapt well to the changing seasons in relation to their hunting patterns - the Tssesebe hardly put up a fight. She was also slow being the end of the dry season and heavily pregnant.

Dogs on the hunt at Lagoon (With a group of tourists). Looks like one of the old Toyota Hilux vehicles

I know this is the middle of the day, but, for whatever reason, I like this particular portrait!

Zebra at Lagoon (2010) ;

[madaboutcheetah]

Over the years, when searching for tracks we often start by looking at prominent marking posts like termite mounds, prominent logs, Shepherd's bush trees to find some clues to see if they've moved through recently having marked their scent ............ Here I caught them in action doing just that!

More scent marking (And) peek-a-boo

Blood and Gore (the inside of the Tssesebe)

The Pillow (And) Chin-rest

Hottentot Teal (And) Hammerkop

This might be the Alpha male of the Lagoon pack when he was younger!

In October 2009 - so, we think they nail Tssesebe towards the end of the dry season?

Dear God! It's You!!!!
