Leopard resting
« on: June 15, 2017, 16:31:11 »
My first image here  :) We tracked the leopard in the Sabie Sand Game reserve after it tried to make a kill and failed. After a while it got to this fallen tree and rested. We were able to photograph it for quite a while before it ambled off again into the bush. Martin
