Africa Wild

Thanks for the comments Lis, PJL & Alf.

More fighting broke out in the lower ranks, watched closely by a hooded vulture.





A lappet-face decided that he'd had enough and left the scene.



Leaving the white-backs to sort themselves out.







A lone marabou landed nerdy, but did not join in with the mob on the carcass.



"What's the plan now?" Asked J.

"Let's pop over to see the dogs." I replied. "They are probably up to something by now."

So off we went down the road to pay a visit to the wild dogs.

When we arrived, we realised that we had only just got there in the nick of time. The pack had just begun their pre-hunt rally and every pack member was involved, including the pups. There was a cacophony of yips, yelps and twittering from all the dogs as they readied themselves for the hunt. This behaviour is essential for pack cohesion and was a delight to observe.





"It would be great if we could follow them on their hunting foray." I mused…..

The doggies are able to bring themselves to a frenzy without limits Must be great to watch and hear

And now let's go hunting............

wow... like if we were there

So lucky to see the dogs doing some preparation for the hunt

You got quite a few crowds going there

Vultures on a carcass are interesting to watch, especially when you get the Chance to do so Close-up

But the doggies take the crown, I suppose

Chaos at the carcass, and more doggie chaos it seems! I wonder if you followed them on the hunt?

Great photos Dewi
Masses of vultures and masses of dogs... brilliant stuff

Astounding photography, Deli!

And dogs on twitter!


I say!
