HIGHLY COMMENDED 'Swept Away'
During a visit to the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, my wife and I spotted a restless young goshawk on the side of
the road near the Leeudril waterhole. After an immediate U-turn, I grabbed my camera and started shooting. We missed the hawk’s dive but were rewarded with shots of the takeoff clutching this hefty meerkat.
