Daily dog Challenge: I Resolve...
I'm sure if Etta made resolutions it would involve staying alert and ready for fun at all times 😀
Black-backed jackals are a widely distributed species that are known for their cunning and daring. They are often seen nipping in to steal a morsel from Lions on a kill. Mainly nocturnal but seen regularly during the day, this handsome animal has a call to remember. The Black-backed Jackal feeds on small mammals, reptiles, birds, eggs, carrion, and fruit. They do scavenge but are hunters in their own right. As an omnivore, it eats almost anything that is available including insects, lizards, rodents, plant materials, and carrion. As such it assists in maintaining the ecological balance. It scavenges when carcasses are available. They co-operate in larger groups to subdue larger prey, such as impala and wildebeest calves. They play an important role in removing sick and old animals from populations.

This beautiful male lion had been lying in the grass near one of the waterholes in Eosha when something caught his attention. He quickly sat up and was definitely on the alert. Some kudus had come in with their young to drink at the waterhole and we thought perhaps they were watching them ! So majestic and always a thrill to see them living life in the wild.
Have a beautiful Sunday !!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Callistemon bottlebrush plants are always a keen favourite source of nectar for the honeyeater birds.
But they must always remain alert for dangers whilst feeding.

Before the young sparrowhawk female started with taking a bath, she was very cautious and alert.
Still sporting white spots, the white-tail fawn raises it alert flag (tail), before trotting away, through the hay field.
The temps are frigid and all the little birds are busy eating seeds while keeping one eye open for the Cooper's Hawk who's a daily visitor. Tufted Titmouse

I had to crawl along on the ground so I could get close but not scare them away.

As I was leaving the state park on Monday I happened to look at the dunes and saw this deer. Fortunately I remembered not to put my camera away before exiting the park. The past had seen too many missed opportunities.
