#Heron hitching a ride on hippo at sunset!
Always wonderful to watch the relationship between these two, when the heron uses the hippo to move from one side of the dam to the other.

#TheRoad to #Everest crosses several high passes in #Tibet, switchbacking laboriously up and down each side. At the Gawu La pass, Everest, with its north-east ridge, is just visible (center horizon with the ‘traditional’ plume from the summit).

Another repost of a favourite sighting, just prior to heavy thunderstorms, there were birds of all species going crazy, feeding on the insects that had appeared all around. #Kruger, in SA.

A newly fledged Red Kite in my garden, circa 8-10 weeks old, still close to the nest area.
It still relies on being fed by the parents but very shortly will need to fend for itself
