The Raptors Aerial Dispute

Raptors confront each other mid air over Lumo sanctuary

One of the great things about staying at Lions Bluff Lodge in Lumo/Taita Sanctuary, is being strategically placed at an advantageous height. From the comfort of the hill top we can watch the wildlife walking quietly below or get some really interesting photos of high altitude flying raptors.

While watching these two raptors take to aerial dispute resolution, i was fascinated not only by their behavior and technique towards one another, but also by the cinematic drama the golden rays of sunlight that was outlining their wings. These golden highlights gave the impression of a powerful comic book like superhero confrontation in the skies directly above us.

The Unique Looking Guitar Fish

Guitar Fish resting on the sea bed One of the most interesting characteristics about the guitar fish is its unique body shape. It seemingly looks like a cross between a shark and a ray - with its flattened ray like head yet it has a long shark like body with dorsal fins - but this fish is actually a classification of its own and has about 50 subspecies. The guitar fish prefers to remain tranquil on the sea bed, partly covering itself with sand to camouflage itself for any unsuspecting prey such as crabs or small fish that may come past it. Reaching sizes of approximately two meters in length, they are quite docile so can easily be approached by underwater photographers.
