Lovely pics Niv, it must have been great to see those animals and their young for real. They're beautiful and definitely have the "aaahhh" factor.

Was this on a Safari trip while you were out there?

Yep. Did a tour of Namibia which included three days in Etosha National Park. The park is quite big - the size of Belgium - so we didn't really have time to see all of it. It was the wrong time to see the Big Five but plenty of everything else including birds.

Yep, all taken in Africa. Most in Namibia and the odd one in South Africa. Often got within a few metres and some insects, coming later, within a few millimetres.
