Super shots
Is it a dusky or ashy fly-catcher?
A great variety of birds you have there
Thanks Lis. It is an Ashy Flycatcher.

Over the last few weeks we had some great Lion sightings at the Lodge again.
Somehow I never get tired of them
Seeing so many of them on regular basis you start knowing them by sight and know the way they act.
They all have totally different personalities
This is Casper.
Casper is a beautiful male of about 6 years old and he is one lazy bugger.
He lays flat on his side roaring his heart out and will not even lift his head.
He is one of the Machaton coalition which consists out of 4 males.
Beginning of the year he was found with a snare around his neck which cut very deep into the neck.
Luckily he was found and the snare removed and he recovered beautifully.
And yes.
He keeps us very safe.
He always patrols the area around our yard.
This is Blondie.
Blondie is a 3 year old male that was born here on our property.
We found him when he was just a little furball at his mothers side.
He is a loner that does not play very well with other prides as, even when he was the age of 1, he always tries to mate with the females from another males pride.
He is quite a ladies man but gets beaten a lot because of that.
