Good morning everyone… Here is one of the young males (“Beach Boys”) of the south. A storm is starting to form in the back & the thunder is starting to rumble! Enjoy your weekend and see you on monday!

Good morning everyone…The Martial Eagle are well-known for their incredible eyesight. In fact, they are capable of observing forward and side simultaneously since their eyes contain special ability that enable them to see two main focuses. They have a eyelid called the nictitating membrane (for blinking). The membrane
is transparent and slides front to back within the eye for eliminating dirt. Enjoy and see you tomorrow!!

Good morning everyone… The lightning, rain and thunder continued the last night, but just before sunset the sun peaked through the clouds to form a nice backdrop to this Spotted Eagle Owl photo! Its prey consists of small mammals, birds, insects, frogs, and reptiles. Enjoy and see you tomorrow!

Good day everyone… The rains and lightning continued last night and we were very wet when we came back this morning! There was a lot of thunder & rain last night, and today is very humid and sticky! Not very pleasant! Anyway here is a pick of last night – it was taken at Samevloeing on the pan, enjoy and see you tomorrow!

Good morning everyone! Due to it’s vast size, the average rainfall in the Kalahari varies according to area. Parts of the Kalahari receive 250mm of rainfall annually, making these areas not true desert. Last night we had around 10 mm of rain! The smell of the first rains are always special! Enjoy and see you tomorrow!

Good afternoon everyone! We bumped into a brown hyena this morning at Leeudril, what a spectacular animal, very weary but settled down for a drink! Brown hyena
typically forage alone, and do not maintain a territory, instead using common hunting paths. Enjoy and see you tomorrow!

P.S. The litter of six Cape Foxes is down to five, keep you posted Dave!

Good afternoon everyone… The little Cape foxes are growing up fast and the playfulness are getting more aggressive every day! These foxes will be fully grown in about a year, with both the female and the male reaching sexual maturity at 9 months. Mom and dad are working very hard to full their tummy’s every day! Enjoy and see you tomorrow!

Good afternoon everyone!!! We are back from a little time off with friends, and ready for the last stretch of 2011, before we can open Xmas presents!!! We got spoilt with great sightings together with our friends, Tom and Patrizia, all the way from Switzerland and South Tyrol. First day we saw a cheetah chase at full speed! The sightings in Etosha was also great, it is very dry at the moment, so the waterholes are alive with game! It was also very nice to see big game like elephant & rhino again!

Enjoy and see you tomorrow!

Good day everyone, we are back but also on our way again to Etosha with friends! We’ll be back at the end of the month, so no posting after today. We photograph this male lion at Leeudril, he is one of the “Beachboys” of the south!

Enjoy and see you at the end of the month!

Ps. Thanks for the Stegman family for all the entertainment on our recent photographic safari! It was a blast!
