Beautiful photos! I LOVE the Three Rivers female. She has replaced Legadema from Botswana as my all time favorite leopard!!! I am crossing all my fingers and toes that your hard drive survives, James. That is heart breaking! Let us know!

The beautiful pic of the Great Egret has such an interesting article attached. So the aigrette plumes are the reason for the name “Egret”. Fascinating, James. Thank you. Wendy M

Such an incredible set of images!!! That’s a very different angle on that big tusker there! I love the photos of the Three Rivers, Mashaba and Ximungwe Females, and that martial eagle and hyena!!

I LOVED the picture and the story of the Pygmy Kingfisher. I read somewhere – I can’t offhand remember where – that MANY kingfishers fly into buildings, the reason being that when they migrate they fly low and they fly in a straight line. I don’t know if this is right but last year a Malachite Kingfisher flew into a friend’s window and was killed. So this does seem to be a common occurrence.
