The mornings and evenings are the best times to observe birds and animals. During the heat of the day much of the wildlife rests under cover. Look under trees and bushes for the pricked ears of some animal raising its head and also keep a watch out in trees for the dangling tail of a lion as it lies on a branch. Tick birds may indicate the presence of buffalo in bush country, and vultures circling above can indicate a kill that could be worth investigating.
