Love the Goshawk series... those eyes are so focussed.

The hyena stare - so full of character and only a mother will love. :whistle:

Great photos and enjoying them all, Jan. :thumbs_up:

What a beautiful camp, the Kalahari Tent Camp, Jan! Complimented with a beautiful sunrise too! :clap: :clap:

Beautiful Goshawk, and those horns are certainly very strange! Poor Gemsbok! :)

The Hyena looks sad indeed, and hungry maybe, or lost? :(

What a display by the Ostrich! :dance: :dance:

The Khalahari tented camp looks so inviting.

The red skies with silhoette tree - brilliant. :cam:

Seems the gemsbok had a story to tell... :hmz:

Hyena cub, looking a bit sad or does he look a bit 'lost' - still brilliant to capture the emotion :clap:

Thank you, Jan. I really enjoy your TR. :dance:

Just catching up with your adventures and your beautiful pix. I think that your posing 'falcon' may be a gabar goshawk?
