Feeling foxy again!

Good afternoon everyone! The foxes are out again, and we found a den with lots of cubs! As for the Cape fox, and typical of most Canid species, they will mate for life. The Cape fox, however, is capable of breeding all year long, although they do typically have offspring in the months of October, November, December, or January and she gives birth to a litter size of 1 to 6 cubs. How many cubs can you count?

Enjoy and see you tomorrow!

 

Final Bird Quiz no.7?

Good afternoon everyone, we have come to the end of the bird quiz, today is the last one! Well done Khaki!!!!! Yesterday’s bird was a Sociable weaver chick that fell out of the nest, it was quite a sad story: While the mother was still feeding the chick on the ground, the other sociable weavers picked it and killed it eventually, to prevent predators, like snakes,  hearing it’s chirps! Here is the last quiz, I want BOTH birds! Good luck and see you tomorrow!

 

Final Bird quiz no.6?

Good morning everyone, well done Colin, yesterdays quiz was indeed a  Saddle-billed Stork (Ephippiorhynchus senegalensis). This one was seen at Kwang waterhole and was a juvenile. Juveniles are browner grey in plumage. After a big rainy season they sometimes will be seen way out of their normal habitat, like the kalahari!

Today’s quiz is a thriller! Sorry! Lets see how you do? Good luck and see you tomorrow for the last quiz! Who is it going to be? Colin or Andrew? Im taking bets by the way!

Final Bird Quiz no.5?

Good morning everyone! Ok Colin Wylie and Andrew Stegman are tied at 5 all with 3 quiz’s to go! So lets see what happens over the next 3 days!!! Exciting stuff!!!! Im throwing another spanner in the works and making it a bit more difficult for the last 3 days!

Andrew was correct yesterday, it was a Brown Snake Eagle (Circaetus cinereus). Here goes today’s quiz, good luck and see you tomorrow! This bird was snapped at Kwang waterhole a couple of years ago!

 

Final Bird Quiz no.4?

Good afternoon everyone! Well done Dan de Vos! Friday’s quiz was a juvenile Gabar Goshawk (Micronisus gabar). It was actually running after striped field-mouse, but missed it! The cere and the legs are yellow in immature gabar goshawks and the plumage is generally browner, with the pale form having less tidy barring on the chest than the adult.

Here is today’s quiz, good luck and see you tomorrow!!
