Firstly please accept my apologies for not commenting on posted images for at least 3 weeks, we have been awy, I will try to catch up soon.
Yellow Billed Kites are often a good clue when looking for Wild Dogs as they do fine job in clearing up the scraps, not in this case though, we were there first sad

Nice detailed action shot Ken. I like your choice of the pano crop. I just wonder what he picked up? Great wingspread!

A very cool head-on shot, Ken. Excellent detail and the little puff of dust is great.
