The Pendennis Castle Steam Locomotive being loaded onto a trailer for its journey from the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway to the East Lancashire Railway last week. Quite an operation. #kwvrailway #eastlancsrailway #ashtonulynephotographicsociety #smiletameside1 #steam #steamtrain #steamlocomotive #aufc_sc
A family of elephants gathered around the waterhole taking in much needed water on a very hot day. #africa #africanwildlife #africanwildlifephotography #southafrica #southafricanwildlife #southafricanwildlifephotography #safari #safariphotography #elephant #elephants #wildelephants #pumbagamereserve #canon #canonphotography #canonwildlifephotography #canonmirrorless #canonr5 #canoneflens #canoneflenses #ashtonulynephotographicsociety #smiletameside1 #aufc_sc

In the theme of animal portraits, here is a head shot of a male lion. I took it with a 100-500 Canon RF lens. #africa #africanwildlife #africanwildlifephotography #southafrica #southafricanwildlife #southafricanwildlifephotography #lion #lionportrait #pumbagamereserve #smiletameside1 #ashtonulynephotographicsociety #ashtonunderlynephotographicsociety #aufc_sc
The female white lion relaxing in the bushes. We got to know her quite well and this was a grab shot through the trees. I like the way the leaves frame her face. #africa #africanwildlife #africanwildlifephotography #wildlife #lion #lions #lioness #whitelion #southafrica #southafricanwildlife #southafricanwildlifephotography #pumbagamereserve #smiletameside1 #ashtonulynephotographicsociety #ashtonunderlynephotographicsociety #aufc_sc
A young Cheetah which has just missed out on a kill. Perhaps she is licking her lips in anticipation of the next one! #africa #africanwildlife #africanwildlifephotography #cheetah #cheetahs # #southafrica #southafricanwildlife #southafricanwildlifephotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #pumbagamereserve #canonphotography #canonmirrorless #canoneosr5 #smiletameside1 #ashtonulynephotographicsociety #ashtonunderlynephotographicsociety #aufc_sc
Mother and calf by the waterhole. We visited the waterhole regularly as there was usually something happening. This was one of the nicer sights. Usually the matriarch will check it is safe before encouraging the others to join her. The herd is very protective of their young and it is quite rare to see a youngster drinking without a large protective shield of females. #africa #africanwaterhole #africanwaterholes #african #southafrica #southafrican #wildlifephotography #wildlife #wild #naturephotography #nature #wildelephants #elephant #elephants #pumbagamereserve #wildlifephotographer #wildlifephotos #southafricanwildlife #southafricanwildlifephotography #smiletameside1 #ashtonulynephotographicsociety #ashtonunderlynephotographicsociety #aufc_sc
The Yellow Mongoose, or sometimes called the Red Meerkat lives in burrows in a colony of up to 20 others. Another creature that is difficult to photograph because they move away very quickly. #africa #african #africanwildlife #africanwildlifephotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #southafrica #southafrican #southafricanwildlife #southafricanwildlifephotography #redmeerkat #yellowmongoose #canon #canonphotography #canonmirrorless #smiletameside1 #ashtonulynephotographicsociety #aufc_sc #ashtonunderlynephotographicsociety

An Impala skipping away from our attention. Lovely antelopes that gather in large herds but don’t stay around long to be photographed. #africa #african #africanwildlife #africanwildlifephotography #southafrica #southafrican # #southafricanwildlife #southafricanwildlifephotography #impala #antelope #southafricanantelope #southafricanantelopes #wild #wildanimals #smiletameside1 #ashtonulynephotographicsociety #ashtonunderlynephotographicsociety #aufc_sc
The Hippopotamus coming up for air.

A Vervet monkey in the evening light. I love the rim light around the fur. These monkeys get everywhere and are good thieves.

Concentration in the eyes of a lioness on the prowl for a meal. She didn’t have much time for me, she just had her eyes on a warthog. #lioness #lion #africa #african #africanwildlife #africanwildlifephotography #southafrica #southafrican #southafricanwildlife #southafricanwildlifephotography #safari #safariphotography #amakhalagamereserve #canon #canonphotography #canonmirrorless #wildlife #wildlifephotography #smiletameside1 #ashtonulynephotographicsociety #ashtonunderlynephotographicsociety #aufc_sc
The lion, the elephant and the waterhole. A stand off between an elephant and a lion as to who wins the right to drink first.

We caught up with the white lioness and her cubs again. The cubs just couldn’t stop posing and stole the show from their mother who just watched from the sidelines. #wildlife #southafrica #southafricanwildlife #lion #lioncubs #whitelion #pumbagamereserve #wildlifephotography #ashtonulynephotographicsociety #ashtonunderlynephotographicsociety #smiletameside1

A pair of Black Backed Jackals.

After last night I am feeling like the weather - dull and miserable. Thought I would try to cheer Ashton United fans up with a photo of Jack Redshaw’s goal just before half time last Saturday. Unfortunately, Oldham Athletic won with a late goal. Final score 2-1 to Oldham.

I went out for a walk with some members of Ashton-under-Lyne Photographic Society the other day and we chanced upon a chap exercising his falcon. It proved to be a very willing subject even though it was only 6 weeks old.
