Sad Reality of todays world 🙁

We are heartbroken.
This disaster is not about whether hunting can play a role in effective conservation or not, nor whether the hunts were legal or not - it seems they were legal - it is about the morality of hunting animals in their prime, of targeting the 'super tuskers' when their numbers are already on the brink of extinction and of respecting conservation areas bordering hunting blocks on international boundaries where an unofficial moratorium had been in place for decades.

Amboseli's super tuskers are down to 10. A 3rd elephant hunted in Enduimet, Tanzania, has amplified the free-roaming elephant hunting debate

The cross border agreement is a very important step to protecting all animals, not just elephants, where the hunting concession is on an international boundary with a protected area the other side.

Like a gorgeous butterfly, a Crowned Eagle flies from its perch. It's carrying tge front leg of a sitatunga! Did it kill the antelope, then surgically remove the leg? Or did it find the animal already dead?
In the final photo you can see its bulging crop.

Striated Heron at , with dragonfly prey. These birds will catch an insect then fly to a favourite fishing spot, place the insect on the water and wait for fish to come. Then BAM!
Fly fishing?

Lovely misty morning for yesterday's walk. Plenty of fresh 🐘 dung along the way, so I had to be on my toes..

Delicate filigree of leaves, a subtle dance in the canopy. Acacia (oops I mean Vachellia) lahai. Ngorongoro highlands.

Look at all these buds! My mum gave me this Gardenia posoqueriodes many years ago. Every year in the rains it puts on a magnificent display of huge white flowers.

Thank you ma!

Today some lovely fungi and a... pumpkin???
