I assume you mean the Lanner Peter? We were at a waterhole waiting for 4 cheetah to come for a drink. I think everyone else missed it as they were watching the cheetah and not the hole…

Congratulations on your first #100, great shots from KTP, especially the raptors. Love the Pygmy, a firm favourite of mine. Very cool Lanners too. Have never seen a Thickknee chick, very special.
