Hi there
I'm afraid that this owl has been miss identified. It is actually the Verreaux or Giant Eagle Owl.
A great site by the way.

My wife and I have been married 36yrs and have 5 children all boys, 4 of them are married and our youngest is 16yrs old.
Our eldest son and his wife live and work in Jo'Burg and we were fortunate to be able to visit them for 3 weeks in December of 2007, during which time we spent a memorable 6 days in Kruger. Not long enough and we long to return.
Hi Brian--I'm glad you and your wife like the videos! Where did you learn of them? Here on WildEarth or somewhere else? Your trip to Kruger looks amazing! I need to go there some day.
I just posted a short video of a boa constrictor I saw in the wild. You can watch it here. http://naturebreak.ning.com/video/wild-boa-constrictor If you look behind me on the bookshelf you can see the botfly in its resting place (the jar of alcohol) ;)
My camera will go to 32x if i reduce to 5meg but like you say keeping it still is a problem. I do have a mono pod that I am going to take to Africa with me
Hi The insect was one the side of the swimming pool.I must of been in a dream because until you said that the bit sticking out was a leg I thought it was its nose or something, now I look closer your right. It just goes to show that sometimes you only see want you expect not what is truely there.
We have finally managed to get our live broadcast from Moholoholo wildlife rehabilitation centre working. Well there are a few problems with tree branches moving in front of the antenna which means the screen freezes every now and then but we can't chop out trees just for this broadcast. Having said that we have a plan to improve it and in the meantime we are getting some great day and night video of vultures, hyena and jackal to name just three species. Enjoy.
We've been hoping to find someone to help with our social networking in the USA for a while, then along came Deb Weston. Deb has been a supporter of the ILP for quite a while and came over to meet the team in Africa a few weeks ago. I'm pleased to announce that Deb has graciously offered to assist with social networking and fund raising for the ILP in the USA. So if you are in the USA, get in touch with Deb and let her know you are out there and care for the plight of wild leopards.
As most of you know, Kirsty Lynas has been working hard on social networking for the ILP in the UK ever since she finished her five month spell as a volunteer with us earlier this year.
Kirsty is continuing to work for us from the UK and co-ordinating with Deb who will cover the USA. Kirsty is also now managing the ILP membership scheme. All of those who have joined so far will be able to receive insider knowledge from Kirsty on a regular basis.
On that front, we need more folks to join the ILP membership scheme and soon, if we are to have any chance of saving the lives of Leopards. Sound dramatic? Well, a leopard was illegally shot this week and we were unable to prevent it.
That's one less leopard in the rapidly diminishing gene pool. If we all don't act soon there will be no leopards left in wild area's. That's no idle statement, our model shows a huge decline in the wild population. The genetic tipping point will come very soon, after which there will be no recovery. Please join the ILP membership scheme, we need your help.
