....the waterbuck is the largest of the kob antelopes. It is known for its trademark white ring around the hindquarters which they use as a 'follow me' sign. If one of the group spots a predator and runs, the rest will follow to avoid becoming prey.
Our wonderful Bobby who returned to us this year, for the third consecutive time
This is an image of one of his triplets, at the taking food stage but able to fly
We felt so privileged that he trusted us so much, he brought them all over to our kitchen door
It was like a blackbird nursery
It wasn't long before he stopped feeding them and left them to fend for themselves (it's a hard life being a bird) He would watch from the sidelines though
The little ones are still visiting several times daily, although we've not seen Bobby the past few days.
I miss his little face appearing at the window and the tilt of his head as he listens to me talking to him
I just hope if thats the last we see of him this year, he returns next year. I've grown mighty fond of our little visitor
Not the greatest of images, he's not so keen when he see's the camera :)
Adolescents leaving after visiting an exhibition of Paula Modersohn-Becker's works at the Schirn in Frankfurt.
She is now self-employed !Comes alone to the feeding station and gives me great pleasure. Watching such a small creature grow, is just wonderful!
It took quite awhile before they decided to pose in this configuration. I like how both seem to be interested in having their photograph taken.

The Cokes hartebeest is a large, fawn-colored antelope. It is one of the fastest antelopes and most enduring runners. These qualities gave rise to its name, which means “tough ox.” Its sedentary lifestyle seems to inhibit the mixing of populations and gene flow; as a result, there are several subspecies of hartebeest.
Hartebeest are mainly found in medium and tall grasslands, including savannas. Adult females are often accompanied by up to four generations of their young. Female offspring remain close to their mothers up to the time they give birth to calves of their own. Even male offspring may remain with their mothers for as long as 3 years, an unusually long bonding period. As groups of females move in and out of male territories, the males sometimes chase away the older offspring. Their mothers become defensive and protect them from the males. Although bachelor herds of young males are also formed, they are less structured than those of some antelopes, and age classes are not as conspicuous.
The hartebeest feeds almost entirely on grass but it is not very selective and quite tolerant of poor-quality food. Although a prolific breeder and even a dominant species in some areas, the hartebeest has probably suffered the greatest reduction in range of all African ruminants. This is both because it is easily hunted (being relatively sedentary), and because its diet is almost equivalent to that of cattle—it must compete for food resources. Wikipedia
It's such a treat to watch these wild boar piglets. Most of the female wild boars get their offspring at the same time so there are sometimes 30-40 piglets in one group...Bavaria, Germany

...they were a portion of her, after all, and seeing one’s reflection in a distorted mirror is disquieting.
Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve. We had the best time here, stacks of birds and Pademelons... and a volunteer who stayed with us walking round, for over an hour. Couldn't see what she was eating, (the Pademelon), but it made the loudest crunching sound, possibly the seed from one of the trees.
As with other deer, Fallow Deer tend to fom sexually segregated groups with adult males being in separate herds from females and 'followers' (usually offspring of current and previous year). However, these three youngsters were alerted to my presence by a mature buck I posted earlier who then proceeded to round them up and lead them off over the heath.
Thank you all for your kind responses.
