p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · A handful from Kruger Park, South Africa


I'm mostly a lurker on this board, generally shooting sports and my kid. But, sometimes I get a day or two to shoot other creatures. A recent work trip left me 'stranded' in Kruger Park for two days with my 500. Hard life. As usual for me in Kruger, the cats kept to themselves deep in the underbrush. I'm still wading through images, but here are a few early ones. comments and critiques always welcome.

(Possibly my favourite if only because it was literally shot with a G&T at my feet while standing on the pool deck of the private game lodge attached to Kruger where we spent the first night)

A very nice set Sean. My comment would be to post them larger. I'm glad you finally made it to the right board ~ Ron

Love your eagle and bee-eater. Please post larger. Take your kid next time; this stuff is magic!

Welcome to the board and I hope to see more and a bit larger as well. If you know the species, please ID them for some of us who are curious.

With KNP in your backyard, so to speak, we hope to see more of your work here in the future. As others have mentioned, post larger 1000 to 1200 pixels on long side, and inform us about the Carmine bee-eater, the greater striped european swallow, the martial eagle, etc. tfs.

Always nice to see more stuff from Africa on the forum....the martial eagle is a particular favorite of mine but have to agree that your last shot whilst otherwise occupied is pretty cool!

Thanks for the kind words, folks. In terms of larger images and IDs, I've got two sets of images -- these are quick facebook converts I did on the fly and thus small and captionless. The images with IDs are still being crunched.

DonGut -- the four year-old was in the back seat and completely enchanted by the dung beetles and, much to our surprise, the zebras.

Braam -- sadly, Kruger isn't in the backyard. We had to kill a few days while waiting for our visas to get into Mozambique for a research trip I was doing for the day job. Normal days for me involve waving to the kangaroos on the bike into work, not dodging ambushing cats.
