The beautiful and melodious Cape Robin Chat. In Afrikaans known as the Gewone ("common") Jan Frederik; its name coming from the rhythm of its call when the syllables of the latter part are run together i.e. "JAN ...frederik" #caperobinchat #birdphotograp

Just an interesting sunset, taken a few years ago on a road-trip on the way to the Cape for our Christmas holidays. 3 weeks to go before I'll see the glorious Cape again; can't wait! #sunset #roadtrip #travelphotography #canon #canonsa

Belle was graciously flying over the grass like a forest fairy, protecting oupa's castle from would-be miscreants .... She wasn't going to let any random pedestrian, a potential killer pigeon or even her half-sisters Lemon, Patch or Cora get in the way of

Don't look at me like that! A southern rock agama with typical blue head, as seen during the breeding season. I took this pic from the bottom of the tree upwards and considering his apparent liking in me, I was a bit worried he may let go and fall on me

Not such a clever chess piece ....ok, maybe this one needs some explanation ... In Afrikaans a scorpion is a "skerpioen", which sounds like "skerp pion". Translate that again and you get "sharp pawn" ... This is the fellow that fell and drowned in my gl

Spotted this white-fronted bee-eater while on a bush walk during our recent trip to Thula Thula. With summer fast approaching it won't be too long before we start to see his distant cousins from Europe! #whitefrontedbeeeater #canonsa #canon #birdphotogr

Chip was laughing so much it almost looked like he had tears running down his face ... "You want to race me!? I can get to 100km/hr in 3-4 seconds; your Nissan XTrail will do it in 11 ... Any more jokes like that and I will start sounding like a hyena!"

African version of Billy Goat Gruff? No, just a very young nyala ram with horns starting to show. As he gets older his coat will also darken, but for now he has his mom's colours. #nyala #young #feeding #canonsa #canon #thulathula #wildlifephotography

What do these flowers and an elephant's skin have in common .... sensitivity of course! The rough texture and thickness of an elephant's skin, typically 2.5-3cm (1 inch) thick, belies the sensitivity it has. An elephant uses mud as a sunscreen, protectin
