We were vey lucky to see this Wild Cat. Wild Cats are rarely active in daytime. It migth not be hunting as such but it was definate stalking something. Unfortunately the ligth was bad as this was spotted when we were moving camps.

Nice wild cat Tommy! Good spotting as they're not easy to find...

Tommy, the cats do love you! What a find as these guys are not seen often as far as I know. Looks like a sweet little house cat :) Beautiful cat and a nice shot!

You got a good shot even with the light.

So glad to see that you managed without the MK3

Nice captures Tommy. I like the nearly monochromatic look.

Good one and seems we captured the exact same light. The second shot is especially nice.

It was interesting to see, how close the wild cat is the domesticated one. I like the direct look in the first one, Tommy.
