I was having great fun photographing some snakes this weekend.

Whether you are afraid of them, or fascinated by them - and most are afraid of them (with good reason) - can you see the beauty in them?

*disclaimer - I was not the one holding them at any time (obviously, I was taking photos)

Red Tail Monkey
Taken in Kibale Forest, (the best place to track Chimpanzees). These red tails were in the same tree as Red Colobus Monkeys, and in the background were some L'Hoest's monkeys (both to come!)

Red Tail Monkey

These are wonderful monkeys to be around. They are chatty, sociable, live in large groups and I adore sitting and watching them interact in their own little constant soap opera. There's never a dull moment when they are around!

Hello lovely people, have you missed me? I'm delighted to be back posting again - and hope to continue doing so more regularly from now on.

This is a Cuckoo Bee (Thyreus) and I LOVE the patterning on it. The more you look at it, the more you see. First and foremost, look at the blue markings, it looks like 2 eyes, a nose and then two arms folding inwards - it looks somewhat like a grub. But then look at it another way; look at the joints of the wings as eyes and the blue markings as a nose, the bottom of the back being a mouth and then the arms folding in and it looks JUST like a Preying Mantis.

Fascinating...

I've been quiet of late and that's because my laptop was down. I could go into it, but essentially it boils down to a massive frustration with Apple, who asked me to send my equipment to the USA (which cost a fortune) and they said that they'd repair it for free (it's under warranty). Then they changed their mind and refused to repair it unless I paid them $1,200 for a new MacBook Pro screen. ACK!

So I'm now working with a second screen and back up and running again. I won't let Apple deter me - and it certainly SHOULDN'T take anything away from this drone footage taken of Shoebill Storks in Mabamba Swamp.

Enjoy!

African Grey Parrot in standoff with Yellow Billed Kite.

Feel free to share and pass on. It’s not often that these interactions are recorded so enjoy and make the most of it while they are still with us in the wild!
