After the snack was complete the bird scurried along the ground before it took flight and that was the moment when we could 98% positively identify it!

They are fast, large, agile snakes, highly venomous and very aggressive when threatened. This is not a snake you want to upset! They are the largest venomous snake in Africa and are blamed for numerous deaths. Any guesses what this snake might be?

Their name comes from their unique flight displays they perform. They will perform a fast, shallow dive from a considerable height with a rocking and rolling motion and a distinctive high-pitched vocalisation call.

It seemed no other animal had noticed it yet as the Buffalo carcass was in a very difficult spot in the middle of a muddy waterhole and really difficult to get to, unless you were happy to get wet and muddy.

Congratulations to our winning entries in the Kapama Private Game Reserve Ranger Wildlife Photography competition.

We received over 200 wildlife photos and choosing the winner was a tough decision.

That morning and during the day we had strong gusts of wind blowing. All the tracks would have been blown away or damage.
