Finally A Cat

I may possibly be the unluckiest photographer when it comes to most of the animals everyone else seems to get stunning shots of. In fact I’ve only ever had four Leopard sightings, all of them either miles away or a tail disappearing on the side of the road. After two long trips I was pretty certain I was going to yet again be the victim of this ‘no cat curse’, so one can only imagine my delight of finally photographing one of them after a 25 year affair with the wild. I was irritated by the sheer number of jeeps and the ‘hooliganish’ behaviour of our own kind but my friend in the tree waited until Morgan and I had got a good look at him before he got fed up and climbed down and disappeared into the forest.
