Cat report : 9 June - 16 June

Due to popular demand, it was decided to continue publishing the blog version of the cat report. The report will summarise the movements of all cats seen during the week under their respective headings instead of following a daily report.

Birmingham Boys

10 June - WE caught up with a member of the  dominant male coalition, the Birmingham Boys, as he was dozing in the road before getting up and moving off to Torchwood

12 June - WE heard a lion calling throughout the night and the next morning managed to find him in person as he was walking along Vuyatela dam and calling to his brothers

15 June - On morning Safari WE saw the powerful form of a Birmingham male stalking through the mist. WE followed him a while until he disappeared into the thick bush

16 June - The Nukuhuma’s warmed up WE’s cold winter morning when WE found them lying cuddled up together in what can only be described as a lion blanket. The cubs were dozing away and would groom each other on occasion.
