So today we have some more photos from our trip up in Yorkshire. This time we have a different Abbey, a funny looking bird and a spring display in York. Photos at Rievaulx Abbey Checking out Ethel the White Headed Vulture at the Falconry Centre Spring alive and well outside the old town walls of […]
and now somewhere near Whangarei
December 1st Today we visited the Zion Wildlife Gardens just outside of Whangarei. We hadn’t heard about the place until Travis emailed us a picture of him and a white tiger cub taken a couple of weeks ago. Once we found out a bit more we were keen to visit and see some lions and […]
Otjitotongwe Cheetah Park
November 5th – Day Forty Two We left the camp site at 8am and had our last drive through the Etosha National Park, leaving on our way towards the nights accommodation at the Otjitotongwe Cheetah Park. The journey out of the park was uneventful, nothing being sighted that we hadn’t already seen and photographed before, […]
Lions
November 4th – Day Forty One Today was much like the previous with morning and evening game drives separated by relaxing and writing at camp. The morning drive was mostly uneventful except for a part near the end we came across a lioness lounging near the side of the road. As she wandered back into […]
Leopard
November 3rd – Day Forty The plan was to leave early and drive to the furthest of the other two rest camps, Okaukuejo. Along the way we would be passing through the national park so the whole day was a game drive, the length of the drive dictated by what we would be seeing rather […]
Etosha
November 2nd – Day Thirty Nine Before we could leave this morning we had to collect the washing taken the night before to the camp site laundry service. We were like inquisitive cats not wanting to intrude somewhere they are not meant to be, we’d take turns to loiter near the entrance to the washing […]
Mokoro trip
October 31st – Day Thirty Seven Another of the group had a birthday, Helen being 33 today. We had a morning game walk, much like the previous evenings except we saw more Elephant and nearly walked all the way back to the bus stop. We got to get quite close to a couple of little […]
Bush Camp in the Okavango Delta
October 30th – Day Thirty Six Sunrise over the reeds at Makwena Guess what? It was an early start with us all ready by 7am to load everything onto the boats for a trip through the delta to the ‘bus stop’ where we would be meeting our Mokoro polers. Now getting very efficient a line […]
Chobe again
October 27th – Day Thirty Three The early start saw us back at reception and being picked up for another game drive in the National Park. We had the same driver again and were soon off down the road heading for the park gate. Unfortunately this drive wasn’t a patch on the night before with […]
Chobe
October 26th – Day Thirty Two To facilitate our early arrival at the Chobe National Park in Botswana and more importantly an early berth on the ferry from Zambia we left very early this morning. There were more than a few people talking in overly loud voices or even singing at we took down our […]
It’s quiet at work
So I’ll do something else for a while. Here are more photos from our trip down to the New Forest and Corfe Castle. Taken on a rainy morning. I stopped the car and took a few photos of this horse which was happily eating while the rain fell. A semi tame herd of deer makes […]
Marwell Zoo & the New Forest
On Friday we hired a car and drove down to the south coast making our way towards Marwell Zoo just outside of Southampton. We were both booked on a photography course being led by Andy Rouse, a well known wildlife photographer. Following the course we had a couple of nights booked at a B&B in […]
