Meanwhile, new competitors enter the market, raising expectations for cheaper tickets and more reliable service. Both the state-owned Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane (FS) and the private high-speed operator Italo (former NTV) intend to introduce modern high-speed trains in Germany.

These storks use their beaks as weapons while squabbling over feeding grounds at a waterhole. The pair of yellow-billed storks were spotted at Long Pool in the Mana Pools National Park, Zimbabwe.
56 year old Nick Dale said, “The birds all have their separate mini territories at the pool and squabble when trying to chase another away from a good spot.”
“They spend a lot of time feeding in the shallows, walking around and sweeping their beaks in the water to find food, swallowing any fish they catch in one.”

(FOTO: DUKAS/SOLENT NEWS) *** Local Caption *** Qs for Storks -
Are yellow-billed storks common to see here? Yes, although there are more great egrets and grey herons at Long Pool.
Can you describe what is happening in these images? Why are they fighting? The birds all had their separate mini 'territories', and if they squabbled, it was because one was trying to chase another away from a good spot.
Can you give us an insight into the moments leading up to this as well as directly after? Yellow-billed storks spend a lot of time feeding in the shallows, walking around and sweeping their beaks in the water to find fish and other aquatic animals to eat. If they catch fish, they swallow them whole.
How were you able to capture these images? I was lying down beside Long Pool, resting my camera on the ground to get to eye level and using a long lens to get a shallow depth of field, creating a blurred background so that the birds stood out. When they started fighting, I boosted my shutter speed to 1/3200 of a second to freeze the action
Qs for both sets -
When and where were these shots taken? The papers often ask for specific dates and locations and we would need to be able to provide this information upon request. The storks were at Long Pool in Mana Pools National Park, Zimbabwe. The leopard was quite close to Goliath Camp, where I was staying.

Yellow-billed storks spend a lot of time feeding in the shallows, walking around and sweeping their beaks in the water to find fish and other aquatic animals to eat. If they catch fish, they swallow them whole.
How were you able to capture these images? I was lying down beside Long Pool, resting my camera on the ground to get to eye level and using a long lens to get a shallow depth of field, creating a blurred background so that the birds stood out. When they started fighting, I boosted my shutter speed to 1/3200 of a second to freeze the action
Qs for both sets -
When and where were these shots taken? The papers often ask for specific dates and locations and we would need to be able to provide this information upon request. The storks were at Long Pool in Mana Pools National Park, Zimbabwe. The leopard was quite close to Goliath Camp, where I was staying.

These storks use their beaks as weapons while squabbling over feeding grounds at a waterhole. The pair of yellow-billed storks were spotted at Long Pool in the Mana Pools National Park, Zimbabwe.
56 year old Nick Dale said, “The birds all have their separate mini territories at the pool and squabble when trying to chase another away from a good spot.”
“They spend a lot of time feeding in the shallows, walking around and sweeping their beaks in the water to find food, swallowing any fish they catch in one.”

Are yellow-billed storks common to see here? Yes, although there are more great egrets and grey herons at Long Pool.
Can you describe what is happening in these images? Why are they fighting? The birds all had their separate mini 'territories', and if they squabbled, it was because one was trying to chase another away from a good spot.
Can you give us an insight into the moments leading up to this as well as directly after?

A SPOT OF HIDE AND SEEK...This cheeky leopard plays peekaboo with a photographer, utilising its impressive camouflage skills. The playful big cat was spotted hiding behind a log from snapper Nick Dale at the Mana Pools National Park in Zimbabwe.
The 56 year old wildlife photographer said, “This male leopard was lying down behind a dead log in the trees. As my vehicle approached he lifted his head, looking over to find out what was going on.”
“It definitely looks like it’s playing peekaboo! They say leopards always see you before you see them and it’s easy to see why when they have such good camouflage.”

(FOTO: DUKAS/SOLENT NEWS) *** Local Caption *** Can you describe what is happening in these images? Why is the leopard hiding? The male leopard was lying down behind a dead log in the trees. When our vehicle approached, he lifted his head to look over it and find out what was going on. When we stopped, he carried on staring and then looked at us through a tiny gap between the branch and the ground.
Would you agree it looks as though it is playing hide and seek / peekaboo? Yes! They say leopards always see you before you see them, and it's easy to see why when they have such good camouflage and can hide in the trees.
Can you give us an insight into the moments leading up to this as well as directly after? The sun was just going down when we saw the leopard, and that's always a good time to see wildlife as the animals become more active as the temperature falls and it gets darker. After we saw him, my guide, Tor, managed to find a good spot further down the road from which we could look back. We could then see him lying and then sitting behind the log—although it was then getting pretty dark!
How were you able to capture these images? I took all the photographs from our jeep. The leopard was quite far away, and we weren't allowed to go off-road, so I h
