Fantastic footage James, especially those adventurous little lion cubs. We saw bigger lions tree climbing at Londolozi some time ago and were absolutely mesmerised watching their Leopard tactics. Wonderful Wild Dog with pups. Are they from the original 10 born to the One-Eared female or another pack? Interested to know if the Chinspot Batis is incubating a cuckoo egg – nature we know, but doesn’t seem entirely fair to be hoodwinked thus!

Edge of seat stuff James and so much excitement and wonderful videos. Watching those little lion cubs climbing trees was so amusing, especially seeing just the four little paws descending. I really appreciated some of the silences when all I could hear was the myriad of bird sounds and bush noises. Great reflection time on this Remembrance Sunday. The wild dog story was great and the family interaction was really interesting too. I hope the cuckoo doesn’t spot that little chinstrap nest …

Thank you James, that was all very lively! I love the contrast between the adorable young cubs and the lean, mean, killing machines they turn into.

Another excellent video – I so look forward to these! I could feel the excitement of the Wild Dog chase and encounter – just keeping up with them is half the fun! Also beautiful Lion cubs. I wonder if any ranger or tracker there has seen a Cuckoo in a non Cuckoos nest? Thanks

The wild dog footage was insane! I felt as though I was there in the Landy, charging along the road to find them, their kill and their pups. It was great to see the cubs again and their antics, testing their climbing ability. Thanx!!

Wonderful videos, the birds, the lions, the dogs. The lion cubs are so cute interacting with their mothers and with each other climbing those trees. And wild dogs are probably the most exciting animals because they are so very active.
