FEMALE LEOPARD SEEN WITH A CUB
On a Wednesday morning we went out specifically to look for birds. Everyone had their pair of binoculars, scanning the trees from a distance and suddenly we saw a leopard cub in the tree together with the mother on a different branch. We got a bit closer because they were so relaxed and spent some time with them. They were the highlights of the morning. Wow, that was so good to see!
