Re: Theme of The Week

Much better Pic of this bird than I got. Mine is sitting on top of a huge tree ten miles away or so it seems. Don't knock it. Good capture
Better a good record shot than none at all. Lot of birders out there would give there wives away to see this guy.smile

Re: Theme of The Week

Thanks CB big_smile!
I discovered the nest by accident while atlassing at Walter Sisulu Botanical Gardens, and a few Trekkies managed to take some great pics of "my" birdie. We hope they'll use the nest again this season.
