I left the dogs in peace again today and went in search for those mating lions. I was convinced they’d still be on Banyini open area, as they tend to hang around there when mating.
There was no sign of them just when it would have been perfect to have them in the mist that hung over Banyini this morning for ages. Even then there were only a few impala to film in the mist.
In the afternoon I tried adventuring down to the Chiredzi River. But the cold weather and cloud cover wasn’t proving good for anybody to be out where I wanted them.
It was only at sunset that I realised I hadn’t shot any video or any photos. I’d seen quite a variety of animals through the day, giraffe, impala, zebra, warthog, elephant, wildebeest, but hadn’t bothered to take any photos believing the light would get better later.
So frantically at sunset out came both cameras at Banyini pan where I videoed the Egyptian Geese diving for tubers and tried to get hugely creative with a couple of photos of the sunset.
Not doing very well, am I?
Tomorrow afternoon I hope to go and check on the wild dogs again. It’ll be just my luck that they’ve moved! Which of course would probably be good IF I can find the new den.
Don’t ask me! I think you’re doing great…never, ever would I not think a sunrise or sunset picture is anything less than acutely marvelous.
