....it's tiring for a lioness. Hardly surprising though, as this lioness had a very busy day. Early in the morning, she was lying out on the grass with the rest of the pride, when she spotted a group of Puku coming out onto the grass [...]
Not many people's favourites but nevertheless an important member of the bush - Vultures are doing very well at this time of year because many of the large herbivores are struggling to find food, and the weakest are dying off. This White-backed Vulture's crop was [...]
The striking side-lighting on this giraffe's head caught my eye the other day. I've always found giraffe a hard photo subject so seek new ways to capture them.
My series of images of a brawl between rival lions has made it into the UK's national press. Have a look here for a (slightly inaccurate) write-up of what happened! No I did not say that I went out to see if I "could spot [...]

I recently took a safari to the Nsefu Sector of the South Luangwa National Park. We were searching for Wild Dogs which are regularly seen in that area but they evaded us that day - such is life in the bush. Nevertheless, there was plenty [...]
