A pair of Pied Kingfishers hunting from a shared perch at the Mankwe Hide in the Pilanesberg National Park
Our end-of-year 2015 holidays were absolutely packed to the brim. Apart from our ten-day visit to the Kruger National Park (read more about our time at Lower Sabie, Olifants and Shingwedzi in December), we also made day trips to five other reserves, and will be sharing photos from those (except Suikerbosrand, which we introduced in a post all of its own) daily through the month of February, in a series we call “a month of monochrome memories”.

And so nice that they were so used to having humans around that they went about their natural way the entire time as if we weren’t even there!

Might end up like a warped scene from Lady and the Tramp if both start swallowing a fish from different ends!
