Get that bird off me!
There is a story behind this...
And for the story: I was taking a nice walk around the area near our house in the late afternoon, and as I circled back to our house I noticed this female warthog between me and the house. I have been snapping photos of her and her two young all day, but decided to take a few more because the light was so nice. As I approached, she grunted and took two steps forward. I altered my path a bit to move away from her, but she grunted again and took two more steps forward. At that point I stopped and watched her, trying to decide what to do, at which point she grunted and took three steps forward. I made the quick decision to double back in my path and take the long way home!
Turn out if I have clapped twice she would have gone scampering away!

Our front yard
Our first weekend in Hoedspruit, South Africa was a relaxing one. We slept most of the day Saturday and Sunday, but made sure to take a stroll around the camp to spot the wildlife. Giraffe, impala and dung beetles are among the notable attractions 🙂
