The larva of the midge fly are the familiar looking red bloodworm that live on the bottom of rivers and lakes. When the pupa float to the surface this is when the adult midge fly hatches out. The newly emerged midge fly seen here is waiting for its body to harden before flying off to mate as this is when the adults are at their most vulnerable stage. In the Antarctic midges are an important food source as it has been said with out the swarms of flies every year there would be far less wildlife as the flies are an important part of the lower food chain, which just goes to show you how important even the small things in nature are.

Be vulnerable
Be raw
Say how you
feel without fear
of judgement
and without
worrying about
the response.
Ask for what
you want.
When you're true
to yours by
speaking your truth
you've done all
you could do,
that's enough
peace of mind.

Female African lion (Pantera leo) and her ~ 6 month old cubs. They are part of the Ntsevu pride of Londolozi Game Reserve, Sabi Sands, South Africa. Conservation status: Vulnerable
A masked lapwing or spur winged plover, Vanellus miles, chick that I think was less than two days old. Unfortunately, the parents did not stay very close to it so I did not get a reasonable photo of the chick and one of its parents together. Its height was less than the height of its parents knees (see next photo). I kept my distance because masked plovers will defend the chicks and they have spurs on their wings with which they could attack.
Masked lapwings do not always choose good places to nest. They have been known to nest on railway tracks. This pair probably nested on the ground in the backyard of a house. They would often go onto quite a busy road and did not stop the chick going onto the road.

Treecreeper - Certhia familiaris
The Eurasian treecreeper or common treecreeper (Certhia familiaris) is a small passerine bird also known in the British Isles, where it is the only living member of its genus, simply as treecreeper. It is similar to other treecreepers, and has a curved bill, patterned brown upperparts, whitish underparts, and long stiff tail feathers which help it creep up tree trunks. It can be most easily distinguished from the similar short-toed treecreeper, which shares much of its European range, by its different song.
The Eurasian treecreeper has nine or more subspecies which breed in different parts of its range in temperate Eurasia. This species is found in woodlands of all kinds, but where it overlaps with the short-toed treecreeper in western Europe it is more likely to be found in coniferous forests or at higher altitudes. It nests in tree crevices or behind bark flakes, and favours introduced giant sequoia as nest sites where they are available. The female typically lays five or six pink-speckled white eggs in the lined nest, but eggs and chicks are vulnerable to attack by woodpeckers and mammals, including squirrels.
The Eurasian treecreeper is insectivorous and climbs up tree trunks like a mouse, to search for insects which it picks from crevices in the bark with its fine curved bill. It then flies to the base of another tree with a distinctive erratic flight. This bird is solitary in winter, but may form communal roosts in cold weather.
I noticed these beautiful golden stalks of wheat in a field close to me so I stopped and took a couple of shots. I liked these random sunflowers sprouting up.
A male Stitchbird or Hihi, a small honeyeater endemic to New Zealand. Once widespread through North Island New Zealand but now only seen at a handful of off-shore islands and ecosanctuaries such as Zealandia. Due to this bird nesting in tree trunks and with the introduction of Europeans and rats/rodents in the 1840s only one remnant off-shore island population remained by the 1990s. A small number of Hihi were relocated to Zealandia in 2005 and Zealandia now has upwards of 100 birds with a further 29 eggs in the current breeding season. The average lifespan is only 3-4 years. The bird remains nationally vulnerable and at serious risk of extinction.

Conservation Status: Vulnerable
Male cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) - one of two relatively young brothers traveling together in the Sabi Sands region of South Africa. They caused a big stir with our rangers and trackers, as they are not frequently seen in this area. There are large prides of lions and the terrain is marshy and not supportive of cheetah's style of hunting. It is surmised they left their mom and were wandering the reserves around Kruger NP looking for territory to call their own. We encountered them over several days and there will be more pictures to recount our adventures with them.
