Re: Elephant Family and Me.
We are due to go and see Gordon Buchanan at Warwick Arts Centre in October to hear him talk about "Animals and Me", which should be fascinating. He is one of my favourite photographer/presenters.The last talk I went to there was by Ranulph Fiennes.

Elephants are amazing animals. We once sat in our vehicle in Tsavo and watched 30 plus elephants, the matriarch in the lead, babies under tummies, they crossed in front of us and you couldn't hear sound as they crossed the bush in a line, they were completely silent.We have seen them in Amboseli, the Masai Mara and other game parks in Kenya. We've also seen them in Sri Lanka, wild ones, not the "domesticated" ones, in Yala National Park and a national park in India, which I can't remember the name of but which we flew to from Mumbai, hoping to see at least one Tiger, but didn't.
We did have a scary half hour with a lone bull elephant on the Mara, at least our driver (who was a driver for Big Cat Diary) said it was a bull, I was cowering as far down as I could get, the driver took the photos for me. I went off Elephants a bit after that. He came even closer than this to investigate us. It was scary.

We too had a scarey encounter with a bull elephant when on safari in the Kenya Highlands, it came storming out of the trees, ears wildly flapping and trumpeting loudly. The guide said it was probably a "bluff charge", but by golly it was frightening.28-08-2017, 11:05 PM
