There are a series of photographs (by Hannes Lochner) from the above-mentioned book, featured in today's Telegraph.
I think that they're quite stunning, but some are a little on the gruesome side - just thought I should warn you.
Bird species include:

• Marabou
• Martial Eagle
• White Backed Vulture
• Giant Eagle Owl
• Black Shouldered Kite and
• Saddled Billed Stork

I hope you get as much pleasure out of them as I did and if you order the book (from Amazon) you had better not receive it before I get mine!

Yours aye

Simon

Some stunning captures there. Thanks for the link! I like the emperor moth on the ellie, and the lions courting in particular.

Are you 'into' insects, then?
I took a picture or two of a dragon/may/damselfly-type insect on nettles at Upton Warren on Sunday.
If I update my blog this evening and send you a link to the picture(s) could you have a look at it for me, please?

Brilliant shots there, I particularly like the Giraffe with the water droplets hanging in the air. Thanks for posting the link Sy.

Forget the insect picture ID request - they're rubbish.

Oh ok, Simon! I am not a great wealth of information, but I am very fond of moths and butterflies and damselflies etc.

Thanks for that link Simon. Some great examples of ' nature red in tooth and claw '. What terrific photography. I also love the lightning strikes.
