We came accross a kill, a young male Lion had got a Warthog and was surrounded by a group of Hyienas unfortunately there was no clear view from our truck due to bushes and it was early morning and so quite dark. The sounds were amazing and the noise as the Lion had an occasional strike at the Hyienas was powerful.
This one had gone for a wonder and looked at our convoy of trucks and four wheel drives.

Cheers

Tim - I like this because it's an enviro shot but it just has that bit more, perhaps it's the OoF bit on the left, but it's really like being there seeing the hyena with your own eyes - nice one :toast:

Hi Andy, I'm slowly getting better, this week I stopped having pain killers and I have even slept for small periods on my side, funny what you yearn for.
Thanks for asking.
