    Ethiopia report, part 3 The Sanetti Plateau Lying between 3,800m and 4,377m above sea level, this is part of the famed “Roof of Africa”, and one of the most extraordinary natural places I have ever visited. It may lack the numbers of animals found in other better known African reserves, but...

    Ethiopia, Nov-Dec 2009

    With apologies for the delay in posting it, this is a report of a 3-week private tour to Ethiopia I took from November 23 to December 17, 2009. Although I wanted to see and photograph as many of the Abyssinian endemics as possible, I also wanted to spend a significant amount of time in mountain...

    Bare-cheeked Babbler

    One of the most sought-after Namibian birds, they live in nomadic family groups and can be quite unpredictable. I was lucky to find a small band at Huab Lodge, in the Erongo Mountains area. It was late in the morning with harsh light, but I was happy to get them both looking at me.

    Thank you all for your comments. I did have to wait a while, and improvise a hide under some branches and broad leaves. Definitely worth it...
