    Arrived at the location to see a pair of swallows feeding 3 recently fledged youngsters.Two were sat on barbed wire fence and this individual sat on a fence and gaped when a parent bird flew near it.The weather was dry and warm and the light good.I observed from a distance and used a Canon SX50 HS on auto mode.I managed to get 3 decent pictures of the fledglings in different situations but this was a fortunate take in terms of timing.

    As the sun starts to set, the Bush Babies of Crocodile Bridge rest camp awaken. I sat patiently by the pole in the fence, waiting for them to emerge. These nocturnal beauties cautiously pop their heads up, then back down, before jumping off into the setting sky, eager for their night ahead.
