Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge-Wildlife

 Wildlife

from South  Africa

and Kruger National Park.

Was difficult to tell if this kingfisher had dinner in

its mouth amid  the flurry of wings and water.

 

If it did, it was a bit like a Labrador dog…

still hungry seconds after the last mouthful.

 These Springbok were some of the first African wildlife we sighted.

Only about ten minutes drive from Johannesburg’s

O.R. Tambo Airport in a small wild life paddock at our motel.  

   

These Yellow Billed Hornbills appeared to be telling

each other jokes…or laughing at the  tourists! 

They would look at each other and ‘talk’ for a few seconds,

then wings would be spread slightly and heads bob furiously

as if laughing at a punch line.

 

 This sighting was, at the time, my favourite.

High up in a tree nearing sundown

I took hundreds of shots.

It was only bettered by our

lion cub sighting on our last night.
