An African animal campaigner is coming to Scotland to raise awareness of the canned hunting industry.

Chris Mercer wants to inform Scots about the practice where tame or drugged animals are enticed into an enclosed area to be shot by hunters.

Some animals, including lions, are bred especially for the industry and animal groups claim others are on the endangered species list.

He hopes pressure can be put on South Africa to ban the practice.

Four lions were still on the loose in the Bushbuckridge area of Limpopo, the provincial department of environmental affairs said on Sunday.

The department had already shot dead five of them after they apparently escaped from a private game reserve last week.

"I can confirm that we have put down five lions, they were threatening people's lives in that area," said spokesperson Moses Tseli.

"We can't equate human lives with that of animals. We call on the communities in that area, when confronted by those lions, not to chase or provoke them," he added.

Thank you for the new Pyramid Cam. It will be interesting to see what will show up on it. Also, Thank you for the new pic on the Leopard Cam. Nice to see another animal there besides the leopard.

This is Frank's report on his Peregrine Falcon visit today
***********
I went to check on Rueben (male) and Lawrie (female) today, arriving at about 1140am, I immediately saw Rueben on the nest ledge, walking around. I looked around for Lawrie but couldnt see her immediately.
1150am Rueben flies from the nest ledge to the last large deciduous tree, closest the car wash, where he landed next to Lawrie. There was a mating and Rueben flew off shortly after back to the nest ledge. Rueben called from the nest ledge.
