We are hoping for a better result his year

than our previous two harvests which were wiped

out due to inclement weather.

A genuine Zebra crossing…

…definitely a Dazzle of Zebras.

A Kettle of Vultures outside

A Herd…

…of elephants.

 

The official name for a group of wildebeests

is a Herd

….however many prefer the unoffical collective noun

of an Implausability of wildebeests

Bateleur Eagle

The Bateleur Eagle

would rate, in my opinion,

as one of the most attractive eagles

I have seen.

I captured these images at South Africa’s

Moholoholo Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre.

traveller

a person who is travelling or who often travels.

Travellers visiting the

Moholoholo Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre

in South Africa, were in 2013,

given the opportuniy to feed a vulture…

I felt certain that I would not need the support

of the handler whose bare fingers are visible

in the bottom left of the above image.

How wrong was I!

I had no hope of supporting a vulture

on an outstretched arm.

According to Google:

males weigh from 6.3 to 11.5 kg (14 to 25 lb), whereas

females weigh from 7.5 to 14 kg (17 to 31 lb).
