    I am extremely pleased to announce that Grant Atkinson, a regular contributor to the Wildlife Forum and occasional Avian Forum, has just secured the August front cover of Africa Geographic. Those who know Grant will recognise the image which was only posted a few months ago on the Forum.

    Congratulations Grant.

    Thanks so much for all of these comments, I am eagerly awaiting the actual magazine, although it is already on sale in newstores in South Africa it takes a little longer to get to Savuti in Botswana
    Again, thanks so much for the help with critique, processing and support to all of you here, and especially to you Steve..
    cheers

    Grant you are more than welcome & well deserved.

    I am hoping this may also extend in some way the 'Community spirit' BPN wishes to convey to ALL.
