Interesting facts about the Leopard

We have been trying to photograph shelducks for over 6 months but we could never get close enough to them … until today.

This morning we were at Templeton beach at 6.30 am just as golden hour was about to commence. It was still blowing a gale with 60 km gusts but this morning I had far more layers on and didn't feel the cold east wind at all.

We knew that if we sat and waited someone walking along the beach would flush the birds towards us at Cooley Point. Thankfully some brave soul decided to walk along the beach and as a result the shelducks flew off in our direction!

Clickity click and we finally got some decent flying shots and this is one of my favourites.

Leopards appeared in Asia millions of years ago, and from there they spread to Africa. And Africa has quite a few of them, and hunting is even periodically allowed. But in Asia, there are no more than 100 of these predatory cats left. These animals are listed in the Red Book.
