p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Malachite Kingfisher & White Crested Helmet Shrike



These images of a Malachite Kingfisher and a White Crested Helmet Shrike were taken at the Lake Panic hide in the Kruger National Park in South Africa. For a photographer visiting Kruger, the hide provides the opportunity to photograph a variety of birds, specially in the summer between September and April. In addition to the birds, hippo and crocodile are residents, and antelope such as Kudu, Nyala, and Bushbuck are common visitors.

Elephant and leopard are also fairly regular visitors. Photography is possible throughout the day, but the afternoon provides the best light.

Thanks for looking, C & C's are very welcome
Jim
