Burchell's Coucal are normally very shy birds and I was very pleased that this guy posed so willingly.
I wonder why it has white markings above the eye? Never seen that before...

We had a lovely drive in the park today, but the sun was harsh and happened
to be 'in your face' most sightings!  
Today's list: Elephant, Giraffe, Zebra, Rhino, Buffalo, Nyala, Impala, Baboon and Warthog

This photo was taken on Sunday (but the Martial Eagle won the blog spot for the day!)
Although the herd was at quite a distance, the photo appeals to me - I somehow feel that they were very aware of being watched - especially the guy in the left bottom corner !
I plan to visit the park again tomorrow - perhaps I will meet up with the Elephants again....
I love the visits to the game reserve and the anticipation of a possible sighting that awaits around every corner. I tend to compare it to angling - you never know when it will happen ....

A small Portia Spider sitting on a crocheted doily
Portia Spiders are related to Jumping Spiders and feed mainly on other spiders
I was happy to discover this photo today- I took it last week in the office with my
'baby' Canon and then forgot about it!
