    CAPTIVE (Bubo africanus) "It is illegal to capture or keep these owls in most southern African countries, but the nestlings are easy to tame and they make affectionate, companionable pets. However, feeding them is demanding, because they do best on balanced diets that include feathers, bones...

    From a march.. to a protest.. to a riot

    why is this happening, just a mad world that seems to just be accepted - just glad I live in rural France the human race is evolving into a bigger mess every day .. it deserves all it gets a world full of "nutters" Maybe it's fun to turn life into a Hollywood movie and that's what the rest...

    Nikon P900 image thread

    Morning Jock I hope that you do not mind but I thought that I would throw in a suggestion on how to make your really nice images "pop" a little. I take a lot of wildlife and bird images and pp is quite important If you use LR or PS just a couple of minutes will "improve" the look of your...

    Yeh Dale, a lot of people take "good" shots of birds with these modern compact zooms, which they are pleased with ....... but to get "proper" shots you needs the kit and nothing, IMHO competes, (yet) with a DSLR and a long expensive lens on a good tripod and head etc. ........ which works out at...

    Animals Bokkie - A Springbok

    This is probably why Here's a guy who had just lost a "fight" - there were two main groups of Springbok - separated by the river on the Reserve - I saw this guy in the distance from the small boat used to go up and down the River - I realised that something was wrong but it was not until we got...

    Animals Bokkie - A Springbok

    I did get close to this guy - he hung around the cottages on the Game Reserve - he had been deserted by his mother and reared by a Ranger, so he thought that he was human He would quite happily come into the cottage and walk around grabbing the odd apple .. if you were sat on the grass he would...

    S African Township

    The Township had many ethnic sections - as there was very little mixing The Rastafarian section was interesting - they had a barrier across the entrance and you had to ask "the man" to let you in - I asked why? - they said "to slow the police down" who raid them often for the usual stuff...

    S African Township

    Most of the Township housing that I have seen is like this, (but I have only been to 4 Townships and all in the Western Cape) - this is quite a "wealthy" area, (tourist and holiday area), with less unemployment than say Joberg or Cape Town I am not trying to make any political statement - I...
