Here are a few more shotrs from a recent trip to SA. These were shot on the Madikwe game reserve.

1. Hippo - wondering if I should crop this to put him in the right of the frame?

Wonderful shots Jonathan, nothing quite like the experience of an African safari!

Shot #5: Southern Carmine Bee-Eater.

Shot #6: My guess would be a species of Roller, but the colours are throwing me right off, reason for that is perhaps this one is a juvenile and yet to form full adult colours. There are three species of Rollers native to Southern Africa: The Lilac-Breasted Roller, the European Roller, and the Purple Roller, I reckon #6 is one of the latter two.

Hope to see more and thanks for sharing!

Thanks gents

Ashley, I believe you are correct about the bee eater and I am informed from the birds thread that the other is indeed a European Roller.

Nice shots Looks like you got good sightings

Only two comments
2. Wild dogs shot, WB seems bit cold (but maybe it is just me ).
4. It is not a Black Rhino. This is a White Rhino (square jaw).

Great stots. I have the exact same gear, We are going a year from now on an African safari. If I can get my pictures half as good as yours I'd be happy.
