Hi,

I've been enjoying your uploads of Botswana - thanks very much.

These are Little Bee-eaters - see my photo here for a comparison.

Hi

I'm writing this without looking at a bird book as I haven't got one with me here.

I would think this is a Wahlberg's Eagle although I couldn't be dogmatic.

Looking at it I don't think its a Kite species and it looks a bit small for a Tawny Eagle but as I say thats just going by my gut feeling rather than anything concrete!

A good photo though especially considering the overcast conditions - TFS and starting this debate! :)

Hi

Nice action photo of this comical bird as it sifts through what I presume is Elephant dung looking for insects and undigested seeds/fruit!!

I like the low POV of this photo....

Superb photo - cystal clear.
Colours are fantastic...

Hi
Thanks for these great pics of this fascinating insect....I saw this guy on a recent trip to the Khama Rhino Sanctuary near Serowe - you can see the photo here, Botswana and didnt know what it was until I saw your post!! Thanks for the info...
Superb, clear photo showing the detail brilliantly!! Mine's not half as good but hopefully I'll keep improving...
Phil

Hi
Nice shot - I've never seen a male lion in Chobe (I've seen them elsewhere) only ever lionesses!! So you've got one up on me (though thats not hard!!) :)
Just wondered what aperture you used - maybe a smaller one would have improved the DOF in order to bring the eyes into focus too...
all in all a good shot...
thanks
Phil

Super sharp shot!!
Pity there is no note to go with it...
Phil

Nice picture - you could say the composition maybe a little central...but to me the branches frame it quite well...
Phil

I like the action here - captured this feeding frenzy well....
Shame you didnt add a note.....just a few words would do rather than none!
Phil

Nice atmosphere to this photo - everything just waking up!! :)
I love the way you have caught the light filtering through....
Phil...
