Although we seldom see chameleons on game drives, on occasion we see them when returning late from an afternoon game drive. Our guides at Tanda Tula do a great job of scanning back and forth across the road with the spotlight and he found this one in a small bush alongside the road.
======================
From Wikipedia: The flap-necked chameleon (Chamaeleo dilepis) is a species of arboreal chameleon, a lizard in the family Chamaeleonidae. The species is native to sub-Saharan Africa.
Description:
Chamaeleo dilepis is a large chameleon, reaching a total length (including tail) of 35 cm (14 in). Colouring ranges through various shades of green, yellow, and brown. There is usually a pale stripe on the lower flanks and one to three pale patches higher on the flanks.
Captivity:
Chamaeleo dilepis does well in captivity. It is mostly active during the day. When this species is in captivity, it is very important to create an environment very much like its natural climate. It may be fed a diet including crickets, mealworms, wax worms, and other locally caught insects. Its estimated life expectancy is 5–8 years.

Great Egret about to touch down at John Heinz NWR. I really like the way that the feather show the turbulent air flow over the wing.

We went back and found the fledglings again. This chick was flapping its wings and taking short flights from branch to branch.

For all those who commented on my last post - I'm home OK - managed to get a little window of clear weather after lunch. Trouble was, half of Scotland was doing the same

I don't think it'll ever matter how long I love on a canal or how many times I see swans do this, I'll always be awestruck. They're beautiful creates and absolutely majestic when they rise out of the water like this!
I wasn't set up for fast action, but I like it anyway. Tundra Swan, Feather River Wildlife Area, California

I have seen a lot of different flaps but this was the first puffin flap that I had experienced. Puffins give you so many different photogenic opportunities both in the air, on land and in the water. I could watch them and never have a moment that I was ready to leave. Love them !!!!!
Wishing you a great and blessed day !!
Trying to stand still when being rocked side to side is a no no, I was trying to get all the seagulls to fly off in one go......no luck!
