Location
This beautiful photo was taken in Witsand Kalahari Nature Reserve in South Africa. The nest was build between the stones where the houses are build. The nest was not build high and the mother fed the chicks.. I took a small coffee table and stood about a metre from the nest to photograph the activity and it did not worry the mother while she was feeding them. How does mom keep the nest clean? She would feed one chick and take poo out of the nest and drop it some where not to close. Then she comes back to feed the next chick. I was reely blessed to be able to photograph this special moment.Time
