Default end of morning safari

these are the last few images from our 1st morning game drive - I don't think we could believe what we saw and how quickly the time went or how many images I already had on my cards!

Spot the birdie competition

It doesn't take long to rack up those shots in places like that....it's my favorite thing to do.

Thank you Ella, we were in Zambia - apparently very different safari experience to SA but as I've never been I don't know how much truth there is in it

for a short time I did start to worry that I hadn't taken enough cards but I was fine in the end

Thanks to everyone for looking

That must have been a wonderful vacation. I saw the bird on the cows (?) face a few days ago in your flickr. What a cool shot. and the one with the bird and the alligator, looks like that could have turned ugly if the gator were hungry! You really got some amazing shots there. Thanks for sharing.
