Thanks all for your comments.... much appreciated.

Although he looks lazy, this young male is actually resting after the very strenuous task of dragging his kill up a tree for safe-keeping. Though exhausted, he still keeps a close eye out for other predators that may wish to steal his catch.

Thank you all for your gracious comments. This photograph was taken in a very special place that my wife and I were fortunate to visit earlier this year.

The many bird photographers out there may be interested in the recently announced results of the 2019 awards. The competition attracted more than 4,000 entries this year.

At the risk of sounding immodest, I was both excited and humbled to have two images shortlisted in this years Special Category: 'Honeyeaters'. The first is a tiny Eastern Spinebill and the second is a Lewin's Honeyeater.

My most sincere congratulations go to the overall winners.

You certainly had a great sighting. A wonderful story and super images as well.

This pair give the impression they have their heads closely together like old friends perhaps sharing a secret. In fact they are two males jostling for an advantageous position during one of their many squabbles.

Zebra are often pictured as gentle, inoffensive animals with nothing better to do than peacefully move about in small, harmonious family groups casually cropping grass.... much like cows in a rural meadow. Nothing could be further from the truth.

In reality, a single stallion will ruthlessly rule over a harem of up to eight or ten females along with their youngsters and possibly a few juveniles. Furious duels regularly erupt as younger stallions challenge and attempt to steal away the girls. These confrontations may continue until one is seriously injured or worse.

Having photographed wild animals many times in Africa, I was looking forward to photographing the Asiatic Bengal Tigers in the wild and comparing them to the African big cats..... lions, leopards etc. With a few notable exceptions, most African cats are more or less pack hunters, they employ teamwork to single out a victim then run it down. Tigers are quite different.....they are essentially hide and ambush hunters.

They generally live a solitary life and will often fight ferociously should their paths cross. I was astonished to observe just how ferocious they are. I recently encountered this pair as they met in deep bushes in the very early light.

Well Done Earl. Showing-off some of our beautiful natives. It's so easy to take them for granted.
