Various characters and scenes of the bushveld!

On an average trip to the Lowveld of South Africa you are treated to an array of wildlife. The area holds some 147 Mammal species as well as over 500 bird species, phenomenal in any book.  My recent trip during the South African “Winter” granted soft light and a just a few photographic opportunities. Anyway, herewith a few our feathered and furry friends accompanied by their surrounding landscape….I hope you enjoy these snippets.

Spring is in the Air!

Spring is most certainly in the air and temperatures in the low-veld are already up to the low 30′s celsius. No sign of rain though and it will be a couple of months yet before fresh new vegetation is available for the game to enjoy. It’s the season for Predators as the bush allows good viewing and weakening game is evident. It also seems the season for breeding as we have witnessed 2 separate  breeding pairs of Lions over the past weeks. Very aggressive behavior shown by one of the males towards us on one occasion, perhaps it was our vacation beards we were sporting causing all the fuss….? Enjoy the Pics and more news to follow soon.
