Feel those rays...

[Steve Kaluski]

The Jackal parents tried to lead us away from their den, sadly it didn't work as it was these guys I was after, three young cubs. This little fellow just sat and took in the early morning rays, thinking he was hidden behind the grass, although he knew exactly what was going on.:) Cloning out the grass is not an option, LOL.

Hi Harshad, would love to do something for the reserve with this image, as this seems to be 'flavour of the year' for the image:) Appreciate your kind words.

Perhaps between the two of us we can really push BH reserve and what it has to offer?:D

Well this breaks a couple of rules-of-thumb and still works..... I like it all the more for that.
