Whilst traveling in the north of Namibia in a 4wd, we could go almost a whole day without seeing anyone. We’d set our tent up in the middle of nowhere, wash in streams amongst desert elephants and wake up to wildlife surrounding us. Seeing animals in a NP like the Serenghetti is thrilling, but to enjoy it without another tourist in site for miles is a different experience altogether and one of the most exciting to date.

The Bateleur occurs throughout the savanna and open woodland regions of Africa south of the Sahara. In South Africa, the species once graced the skies of the Transkei, the Eastern Cape, the Karoo and the south Western Cape but sightings in these areas are no longer common. The Bateleur eagle eats carrion, reptiles, and small mammals like rats, / hedgehogs, squirrels or young hares. When attacking snakes, the bird raises its crest and spreads its wings. This, together with long, scaly legs, ensures that, should the snake strike, it will hit either feather or scales, neither of which will pass venom into the bird’s blood stream. The voice of the Bateleur eagle is quite distinctive. The most frequent consists of short repeated barks ‘kau-kau-kau’, followed by one or two long shouts of ‘koaagh’. In the wild this call is made while perched. Its scream of anger is completely different. 2006 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. In the lowveld wildlife reserves, where the Bateleur probably occurs at maximum density in an ideal habitat, it is quite numerous. Outside of protected areas, the Bateleur is vulnerable to poisoned bait. The birds have been eradicated from virtually all South African farmland due to indiscriminate attempts to control jackal.

FEATURED OCT 2009 PEACE LOVE & TRANQUILITY “THE JACKAL’S HEART NOT TO BE EATEN” / (I was not ready for the path this photo opportunity would lead me down, but here it goes, and I hope you enjoy this as much as I have!) / The vision of these cute little jackal pup brothers, curled up like this to form a heart, has led me to an enjoyable path of reflection, which even synchronized with Sharon Mau’s beautiful and inspiring posting this afternoon. Sharon’s link guided me to the African sacred text which explains why children should never be fed the heart fo a jackal, for fear of imbuing them with the cowardly traits a jackal is known by. The verse advises instead on the values of feeding children with leopard hearts, and hence feeding them with the leopard’s courage. / / There is much wisdom in this Ancient metaphor for parents and all of us to reflect, on how we prepare our children ( and also the child in ourselves day-to-day) for life’s jungle, and which traits we look to strengthen and which to overcome. The origins of the word Courage itself is something I love to reflect on: / “The word was carried across the English channel in 1066 by those brave Normans who planned to take over with William as a new king, deposing Harold II. / They did it too, installing courage as a new word taking over from an Old English word ellen. This new French interloper word arrived with more meanings than just “bravery”—the one we give it now. The root of the word courage is cour the French word for “heart.” The idea that our emotions originate in our hearts goes back at least 2500 years and one of the earliest books to make this connection was something called On The Sacred Disease about epilepsy written by followers of Hippocrates. At first in English the word courage had meanings extending to all sorts of feelings one might attribute to one’s heart: thoughts, feelings desires and passions; gentle, sexual, and violent. It was in the 1300s thatcourage began to make it into print as an English word and it did so with those many different senses of emotion. Over the centuries all those other meanings fell away. Before French, courage came from Latin and before that the cour part points back to an Indo-European kerd meaning “heart.” There is still enough similarity between this Indo-European kerden and the Old English heorte that you can see that the Indo-European root actually did percolate up into both Latin and Germanic languages.” (from the provided link above) The more I reflect on it, the more I can *visualize my heart grow larger to empower my commitment to all that I believe in and stand for. I welcome your comments and reflections about courage, and I hope you like this shot :), though I can’t make up my mind whether to stay color(above left) , or focal color (above). This was shot at a Zoo.
