  • 'Apex predator'<br />
A large flock of red-billed quelea dancing across the flood plains of the Okavango Delta is certainly a sight that impresses. The bird of prey that flies inside this flock literally tops off this image.

  • I was concentrating on photographing a hovering Black-shouldered Kite and had positioned myself waiting for it to come closer.  Then I noticed some other bird activity right in front of me on the ground; a female Plum-coloured Starling was chasing off a Familiar Chat from a little termite mound and started feeding on termites. A minute later, after the Starling left, the Chat was back having a feast. Next it was the turn for two little Blue Waxbills, which in turn were chased off by a beautiful male Plum-coloured starling (a.k.a Violet-backed Starling or Amethyst Starling - Cinnyricinclus leucogaster). I was amazed at how many termites this fellow managed to collect at a time. The year sure started off with some good pickings for him!.I never got to photograph the Kite, but I did not mind really; I will get that image some other time..Techs: Canon 1Dmk4 + EF500mm f/4L IS USM lens with 1.4x TC; 1/1250 sec. @ f/7.1, ISO 800..

  • Probably one of the most awesome aspects of wildlife photography is the acceptance by animals into their world. This beautiful female Bateleur allowed me to get closer and closer as she was drinking from a small waterhole. When we arrived there were in fact 6 individuals at the waterhole! All but one took off on the sound of our vehicle, this one however seemed not to care. Call me strange, but the few quiet minutes I spent with this magnificent bird will remain one of those encounters I will cherish forever.

'Cormorant take-off'<br />
<br />
Yes, it is just a common White-breasted Cormorant! And yes technically the image is under-exposed! But that is exactly what gives the image its graphic and artistic appeal.

  • An adult Barn Owl (Tyto alba) taking a break on its nightly hunt.<br />
Ghostly pale and normally strictly nocturnal, Barn Owls are predators of the night. These very successful hunters have excellent low-light vision, but it is their impressive hearing, aided by their satellite-dish-shaped faces, that enable Barn Owls to locate mice and other rodents even in total darkness. This species’ eerie screeching call, a long-drawn-out shriek, is unmistakable and a familiar night-time sound in the Kgalagadi.
