The fantastic pictures of insects and animals are taken by Gary and Maktoum.

They are trying their best to improve, as apparently being called BLOODY USELESS is having some effects.

A bunch of great photos..

thanks for sharing.

That is a better picture of a twig snake than I have.

What cameras are you using this year?

Big croc and a big buffalo! Congrats.

Sony A7
Sony RX100 MK7
Sony RX10 MK 4

Question - the hippo croc bait ... you shot the hippo and left the whole carcass there as a croc bait without using or taking any of the meat ? Or did you use some of the meat ?

.

Saeed,
Thank you for camera selections!! Now I have to start shopping and upgrading, AGAIN!!
Your photography is SPECTACULAR!!
What camera do you use on your drone?? Those drone shots are very creative and really bring out the stunning beauty of Africa!!

We only took the hippo tail for hippo tail soup.

Drones are DJI MAVIC PRO 4 and have their own in built cameras.

Hippo meat goes bad fast, at least in my experience.

Take it while it's hot and bloody, or don't take it!

Nice shooting, as always, Saeed.

Both with your rifle and your cameras!

Saeed…Thank you, thank you for the elephant photos. So so good to see some healthy breeding herds and more so the young bulls in the pipeline.

At one time when Selous was mentioned hunters thought of nothing else! Let’s hope it can make some kind of comeback.

Safaris. Very true. Unfortunately most us will be pushing up daisies in 2 or 3 decades when those bulls are past breeding age!

Another installment of great photos. Thanks for sharing.

We sat at a leopard bait this morning.

We had a thermal binocular with a camera.

Took these photos of the leopard and a hyena he was keeping at bay.

Leopard on the tree, hyena on the ground.

He left before it was light enough to shoot.

Male or female???
Looks like a decent male but I not a serious cat person...

Hope you get lucky in the daylight.

It is a good size male as we have him on trail camera.

But he seems to know what we want.

We sat in the blind in the afternoon, and he never showed up.

Just INCREDIBLE, Saeed!!
Did Zim require registration of thermal binos??
Years ago it was considered Military only and illegal to have??

I shot a buffalo.

Tony shot a wildebeest.

They eat buffalo tail.

Buffalo tongue

And now buffalo hooves!!!!
