We enjoyed an early safari today before catching flight to the Kalahari desert and a change of terrain and wildlife. I hope you enjoy these less well known animals.

Sunset. My apologies; but there is an elephant; it's just hard to see!!!

Great expanse on #1 Don!

Secretary is one sweet capture. I have only ever seen them hunting for snakes and the IF is

Bat-pup has a pleasant and relaxed feel.

Palms stand proudly and make some great yet wicked wine

Lucky you with the aardwolf grab. That is one tough find.

Well done, Sir!

Hi Don,

the secretary in flight and the sunset with all those birds in the image are both stunners.

Although the secretary bird and bat ear fox are not rare finds, what is rare is to get good images. Getting good images of them and a reasonably good shot of the aardwolf are really special. Thank you for sharing.

Keep them coming!!

Thanks Braam. I've taken many shots of those animals and it is difficult to get good images that aren't "running away from you" shots. Thanks for commenting. Don

Thanks for the comments Ken. I do enjoy imaging the lesser known species of Africa. Don

Beautiful set. I can't pick a favorite because they are all excellent. BTW, the sunset would be magnificent with or without the elephant.

Thanks Brian. I always apologize, tongue in cheek, for sunset shots, but they are very appealing. Don
