Oi! Just show some patience! Just coz you've seen the big fat album!

Warning
I'll have to balance ANY cuteness with a dead Zebra being pulled open by a hungry Hyaena.

(And it will be done if there are no objections to dead animals)

Brilliant shots mate. Got any pics of Tigers?

Good shot puz, I bet it was a great sight seeing that.

I'm quite lucky as my girlfriend’s father owns a lodge at a private game reserve in South Africa. Buying a decent camera + lenses is on my wish list but in the mean time I just have to make do with my compact and some binoculars held in front (luckily they are quite nice Swarovski binocs so the results aren't too bad)

Here's a pic from my last trip out there in December with a couple of big cats having a lovers tiff.

I wouldnt mind taking one of them for a walk. Atleast all the Chav's on the street corners on a friday / saturday night will move right out of the way

When you going back?

OMG, thats some Christmas present and some girlfriend you have. Best you keep hold of the good lady and keep her sweet if she looks after you that well!! Trust you showed your appreciation of the holiday in some suitable manner.

I'd post a picture of her all safari'd up but she'd kill me.

Good on you Puz for posting the first kill. Mine will be arriving soon. Mwah Har Har!

BeaumonT - Good job with the kit you had available. It's a good attitude to have to just go for the shot whatever's in your hand.

I couldn't have that kind of cruelty inflicted on a big cat. Think of the indigestion or even the food poisoning if it ate one! :eek:

And if it's me you're asking, we plan a trip back end of this year.

Bennah · 21 Mar 2006 at 18:45

Yea, was asking when your gunner go back. I would be thrilled if the father-in-law had a pad in the middle of africa, so I could just relax and watch the wildlife. Better than a British winter anyways.

MacX · 21 Mar 2006 at 18:49

A few more to tickle you.

Black Backed Jackal

A vulture for Colin_da_Killer to id for me as the book hasn't arrived yet! But this also means I'm getting closer to the dead animal collection.

Ah.. Hang on. That's BeaumonT with the father-in-law in Africa.

I was just a (ab)normal tourist in Kenya! :cool:

Bennah · 21 Mar 2006 at 18:53

AH, ok. Confussed lol... All these pictures are making my mind going funny

That Jackal needs a good feed. Ive seen more meat on a domestic cat than that

Thanks! My first ever!

Now you got me started and reminded me of that option I'll just start getting greedy and want more.

Thanks.

I remember a mad dash in a jeep and It all got a bit scary but the pic at the end was worth it.

Your pics are great. Keep it up. Would love to see more..

Looks like a lappet faced vulture to me. Could be wrong though as I don't really like em birds, they are very helpful though in finding where a kill has just been made or sometimes even when a hunt is on.
