The beady-eye of a Cape Griffon Vulture, Falcon Ridge, Drakensberg

The beauty of a holiday, is that one has the opportunity of spending time taking pictures and nurturing the hobby, or so one thinks :-). I have learnt early on that my family do not quite share my passion of me taking pictures, or should I say appreciate me spending hours taking these pics and then the time developing them. (Only ever shoot Raw!)

This day was different however, we took a day trip to the fantastic Falcon Ridge Bird of Pray Center in the Drakensberg just below Champagne Castle. The girls were captivated, as was I, but with camera at eye level. Could not stop snapping pics. The birds posing, when they felt like it that is.
