In the bottom of the valleys with no wind, all that solar and heavy packs/exertion you get pretty hot so a dip in the freezing river becomes very appealing.
We just slid in as it was quite shallow and at first it didn't feel that bad but then within seconds the burn and cold was real. A quick dip of the head under and then straight out to then lie on the warm granite rocks.
Sliding Sarcophagus Lid...crew's outta limits safaris look nice...not so isolated after all.

There's a pair of these guys that nest around our area and I see them on a regular basis walking the dogs on the beach, but can never get close to them. This guy swooped straight over my car the other day and perched in the tree right next to me. Pity the auto focus picked on the twigs in the foreground.

garyg1412. Hi.
Very nice mate. Got a fair few around here, established nests, I live in sheep country, they love the afterbirth when lambs are born.
If it helps , not sure of how extensive your bird knowledge is, the larger bird of the pair is the female. All the best. AW

Never knew that AW. I've heard rumours that they take small lambs. Any truth in that??

On the odd occasion maybe, I’ve witnessed one fly very low over a Joey kangaroo last year following the animal along the fence line, it would drop its feet down like sky cranes missing most the time. The Joey had no idea what was going on above it.
We are talking only a metre off the ground.
My son and I a couple of years ago saw a female wedgie on a fence post here in a neighbouring farm with a squawking Sulfur Crested Cockatoo hanging upside down from one of its feet.
The stuff you see. AW
In semi lockdown I'm finally sorting through a lifetime of photos and inspired by what Craig and Andy recently posted I thought why not.
We travel a fair bit and there has to be some crackers in the vaults.
Good if we follow the Swellnet tradition of not naming or being too obvious.
