Very impressive and fascinating series, Peter.  I love especially the rain-images.

Very impressive! It looks like you were very close to the bustard. Your pictures really make me longing to go back to Africa.

I really enjoyed this last part of the series too. Somehow the chameleon image stands out for me.

The mustelid, is that a marten?

Thank you very much Øivind.

The Chameleon was a special sighting, the only one I have seen in many years!
I guess you are referring to the 7th image? That is a Dwarf Mongoose. The first is a Banded Mongoose. We do not, as far as I know, have Martens here.

Thanks. I got a little confused by the soft looking fur in #7 without apparent bright tips. Perhaps it is a young animal.
