Dave Pusey Photography: December 2011

Saturday, December 31, 2011. My Personal Choices of 2011. It has been a truly amazing and rewarding year here at Leopard Hills, there have been lots of great opportunities to shoot and here are a couple of my personal choices. This Pangolin spotlit scene is a close 2nd, the rarity of a sighting and then to have the secretive animal co-operating with his posture was extremely lucky. Slow shutter of 1/20, manual exposure.

Sunday, December 12, 2010. Spot lit young Leopard. This young female which we dont see often was lying up on a mound in the more remote northern area of the reserve as the sun popped down. She isn't very used to vehicles but was remarkably relaxed in the gloomy light and gave us a great view before she moved off. A little spotlight illuminated her and kept the scene looking very natural. Thursday, December 9, 2010. Monday, December 6, 2010. Heavily overcast conditions are difficult and I had to shoot on ...

Saturday, March 5, 2011. Miniature Mapogo, future kings! A few days ago we were kindly notified by another ranger that a lioness and 2 tiny little cubs were briefly seen crossing the river bed close to our lodge. We jumped in the Land Rover straight away to try and find them but all we saw were the miniature tracks heading along the river into thick bush! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Dave Pusey Photography: April 2011
http://davepuseyphotography.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 17, 2011. We were following the Tlangisa female (2 yrs old) strolling along in her new territory and she was scent marking vigorously! Then suddenly out of nowhere came the Metsi female, her older step sister (5 yrs) who is territorial on the western side of Tlangisa. Metsi followed her for about 5 minutes, stalking and crouching and marking on top of Tlangisa's scent without her even knowing.we thought a possible clash was imminent! Wednesday, April 6, 2011.

Sunday, February 20, 2011. Lioness attempting to catch warthogs. We were unexpectedly treated on Saturday afternoon. It was quite a hot day and we found this lioness lying up in the shade fast asleep in an open area close to the lodge. I started chatting about lion behaviour and how unlikely it was that she would move until it cooled down but ever hopeful we waited and spoke about the lion dynamics here in the Western Sands while resting in the shade ourselves.

Sunday, October 30, 2011. We have all seen breathtaking documentary footage of a lioness gently carrying her cub in her mouth and been touched by the tenderness with which she handles the tiny fur balls! Every ranger and wildlife enthusiast dreams of witnessing this moment for themselves, I waited many years for all the elements to fall into place and finally had my breath taken away last week. Now the lioness could move her cubs to a new den site several times in their first few weeks, carrying them one...

Dave Pusey Photography: Painted Pups...1 month since they emerged!
http://davepuseyphotography.blogspot.com/2011/06/painted-pups1-month-on-growing-fast.html
Saturday, June 4, 2011. Painted Pups.1 month since they emerged! Enjoy some of my favourite images of the pups since they emerged 4 weeks ago! Below was our first view of the wobbly floppy eared little ones a month ago when they could hardly walk! Proved to be extremely difficult shooting in the shade with lots of grass! Since then as they have grown and become more bold we have had more light to work with as they venture further from the den. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Based at Leopard Hills in...

Dave Pusey Photography: September 2010

Sunday, September 26, 2010. I returned from leave to find out that all the cubs have now been killed by the Mapogo male lion who has come back to the West after an abscence of a few years. He has rejoined the coalition of 5 males and knowing that he is not the father of any of these cubs, he has snuck around knocking the poor youngsters off 1 by 1. Wednesday, September 8, 2010. A few Leopard shots are long overdue! Monday, September 6, 2010. Eyes on the back of his head! Flaps on the back of the neck.
