p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Odds and Ends


A few shots just because. The first is very odd because a leopard has killed a vulture and was feeding from it high up in the tree. I don't know if it surprised it up there or killed it on the ground and returned it to the tree branches. Enjoy folks. BTW, this was in my 1 season black period...Nikon 700 with 200-400 in most cases.

#1 is an interesting behavioural shot Eric, have seen leopards kill vultures before when they got too close to their kill, but never seen them actually kill for food?

Man, you just think you have the best shots possible and a guy like you comes along. I guess I just have to go back! Great stuff, esp. the leopard. But then you are a bit of a leopard specialist. Lovely. Don

Wonderful selection of terrific images, Eric.
Most predators hate vultures- but I never knew them to eat vultures.
A remarkable situation for you to have seen.
