Osprey catching dinner at Georgica pond. Quite an efficient catch, less than 60 seconds of scanning, darted in to the water and was on its way back to the nest

Found some common swifts in Paris! They were flying incredibly fast (as usual). New 300mm GM lens from Sony with extenders was incredible (even with 2x)

Big cat! Spotted at Sabi Sands outside of Kruger

Leopard was resting after a heavy meal and totally uninterested in making a love on any prey on the other side of the small pond

Amazing the fur stays clean in the mud
