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”.

Birds are my favorite wildlife. Love this..
They’re fascinating creatures, and we love them too!
Swart en wit visvangers in swart en wit!! 😉
Werk nogal goed 😉
Dis nou regtig pragtig,Dries!
Nog n dankie, Dina!
Stunning composition which produced an unforgettable shot, even better in black and white.
Thank you very much Hien, I really appreciate that!
Dis so mooi ek het sommer ‘n knop in die keel
Sjoe Tina, dis baie gaaf van jou! Baie dankie!
Oooh…two together…awesome!
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!
Excellent capture of the two.
Thank you very much, L S Peng!
Sal dit nou boetie en sussie wees of pappie en mammie? Besonderse foto! Kannie glo ek het so lanklaas hier gekuier nie!
Ons is baie bly dat jy weer kom inloer het, Ineke! Hierdie is beslis n voornemende pappie en mammie 😉
oh ho! Ek sien! Ek het nie besef dat ek so baie oorgeslaan het nie. Van ek my skool ure het is daar nie veel rekenaar tyd nie! Pootuit na die dag. Word ook nie jonger nie, ou liggaam kry maar swaar!Ek kla nie, geldjie is welkon.
Great shot, Dries. Love the blown-back ‘hair’. 🙂
Thanks Sylvia! The nice cool breeze blowing over the water wasn’t only welcomed by the wildlife 😉
What a lovely couple.
That they are for sure!
I wonder how they decide which one goes for the food. 🙂
Might end up like a warped scene from Lady and the Tramp if both start swallowing a fish from different ends!
