The weather didn’t play game today and definitely wasn’t up to the forecast of a bright sunny day.
Heavy clouds were already hanging low across the bushveld at dawn and with them came a very slight drizzle. I suppose more like a mist. Of course in this weather the animals vaporise never to be seen again. Well so it seems as they just disappear.
But with a little technology on my side Manyari wasn’t so lucky. I picked up Manyari and Magwaza resting up to the west of Banyini. They were both well fed and Manyari was sporting a shiner on her left eye. Probably taken while chasing after prey.
The girls looked well but there was no sign of the 2 males.
The rest of the day proved fairly quiet and I’d hoped to go flying but the weather wasn’t playing ball.
The white rhino cow and calf came out to graze in the open in the lovely golden light minute before sunset.
Well, the weather cannot be on your side every day. Some great captures none-the-less. I like the one of the sleeping lioness. She certainly seems happy not to be dealing with hunting, cubs, or the other males.
They’re so cute when they cuddle.
