We have a large number of visiting migrant birds during the rainy months when the insect life is at its peak, and provides the best source of food. Woodland Kingfishers come all the way from Senegal in West Africa to spend 5 months breeding and [...]

Spectacled Weavers are one of many species in the Ploceus genus, which are generally yellow in colour and build beautiful woven nests out of fresh grass. This female Spectacled Weaver is inspecting the nest which the male is constructing. When she's happy with it, she'll [...]

It's not often that you find leopards together since they're generally solitary creatures. The only exceptions are when a pair come together to mate, or a mother is rearing cubs. In fast fading light, I found this mother and male cub feeding together on the [...]

I was approached by a very calm zebra the other day, and I had my longest lens attached, so I took some abstract portraits while he posed.

I took a pro photographer out on a drive the other day and we found a leopard cub very early in the drive. He seemed very relaxed so we decided that we would try to spend the rest of the drive with him if he [...]

African Skimmers are a relative of the Terns, and they hunt by dragging the lower part of their beak in the water, and snapping shut when they feel a fish. In the Luangwa, they're most visible when there are exposed sandbars which provide good breeding [...]

The Carmine Bee-eaters are still in the Luangwa in huge numbers. Most of them are concentrated along the sandy rivers where they are rearing chicks in nest holes excavated into the banks. Trying to photograph them is a frustrating business as they are very agile [...]

Night drives often throw up something a bit unusual. Wood Owls are not rare, and in fact, you'll hear them almost anywhere if you listen for them, but they don't often sit still for very long! We found this one in an Ebony grove with [...]
