Ah! the amazing Sausage Tree - don't stand under them when the fruits are falling! A lovely view of this beauty Marc, nice strong diagonal in the dappled light.

Your not wrong Carol, once when I was observing a leopard in a sausage tree one of the massive fruits smashed onto the hood of our vehicle, frightening the life out of us AND the leopard which lept down and bolted away! :shock:

Hi

A great shot of this handsome critter - and quite a treat to manage such a clean view/shot given the surrounds


All the best
Matthew
