I was happy to see this female klipspringer up on her customary rock. I used to see her most mornings while returning to the house in the morning after filming all night. I havent seen her for a while. Klippies mate for life and her husband was just below her on the rock.

This zebra photo is one I have been trying to get for a while. It isn’t perfect but I wanted to catch the sun glowing through the mane. I like the little chin ‘goatie’ of this lovely male zebra. I hadn’t realised that zebra have such hairy chins.

It is wonderful to get out of the office everyday and enjoy being out in the bush. The weather is cooler and the bush is really dieing back. All of the game is coming into the pans as the bush dries up.

Today was very warm and the afternoon was still and calm. Seeing the dam from our house, I decided to head up to Pamushana to get a clear view of the still water. Not a breath of wind disturbed the calm surface.

It was quiet and peaceful up there on a sunday afternoon and a good ending to a hectic week of shooting.

This African Hawk Eagle was in a baobab near the Pamushana hill.It was quite a job to focus on him through the branches. His mate was just below, behind a large branch.
