Another from a series of images taken with these two males feeding on a buffalo carcass taken down the previous night. Very privileged to have the sighting to ourselves purely down to the accessibility of the sighting, however the Ranger who will be nameless also I think, re wrote the manual on how steep land rovers can traverse, downhill. Light was still of a premium again, due to the location. Awesome does not do the encounter justice.

. I really love the carcass colors , very realistic looking .
, i tell you afterwards , you should have moved left or right or up to avoid that intersecting eye /carcass . If not possible to move ........... well you should have moved Rachel and /or Alison
, but you are a real british gentleman and took the intersection
Great image and details I never would expect different from you Steve
