Stunning photos!

I don't know whether this reserve is named after Sir David Attenborough (his brother is the film director ["Ghandi"] Sir Richard Attenborough). It is Sir David who presents those splendid BBC series "Life on Earth", "Life in the Freezer" - and many more. His most recent is simply called "Life" and has the most spectacular natural history photography I have ever seen. Worth getting on DVD, as is anything he does. He opened many eyes, and is still doing so. On this side of the pond, he has been elevated to a well-deserved Hero status in the wild world.

(Still looking for that gorilla encounter footage but have to wind up Little Mac... thanks to Donna for hers!)

Those pics were awesome! The little coots were adorable and I liked the berry in the beak!
