Whilst bacing up some video files I found a back up some old images from our trip to Savute in 2010. I also found this which I am happy to share.

Two Male Warhogs were scrapping in a waterhole the do minant male was trying to keep the other one in the waterhole.

Harshad,

I had not even noticed that I was the last to post before this post, strange but true, comments have also been a little thin on the ground.

Perhaps as you say everybody is down the pub, certainly the Arsenal fans (like me) will be:S3:

Thanks for your kind comments, I am also thankful for re-discovering this, one day I will arrange my images tidily:bg3:

Ken,

Great action image and the eye, including catchlight, really makes the image. Nice and sharp end to end!

I'd be down the pub too (as another Arsenal fan) but the floods here have put a bit of a dampener on that kind of activity.... might find myself unable to get back. Part of the reason I am having a posting flurry (by my standards).

The image is excellent for me. Love colours and action, the water, and ( as already said) the eye makes it stand out. One clean and one dirty adds interest. Really nice tusks too!
