    I've heard from dutch friends and family that Holland is a mayor migration route for many exotic bird species of that region. Assuming you're a local, we can hopefully look forward to seeing many more of these fine examplesclap.gifclap.gifclap.gif . Thanks for sharing, Herman

    Hi Al - Not this time (unfortunately)! Within a local forest which is approx. 1 km from where I reside. Presume that series of lion pix was taken in the Tuli block area? I never got beyond Thabazimbi in that direction!

    Lekker dag...

    Cheers /groete - Herman
