Rosy-breasted Longclaw - Macronyx ameliae
Got this shot on a beautiful morning in Maasai Mara.

P.S.- Me and my wife just came back from a 10 day trip to Kenya. We visited Samburu, Lake Nakuru, Tree Tops, Maasai Mara and we had a wonderful time.

You might have heard of political violence that happened in Kenya begining of this year. However I didnt face any problem whatsoever during my 10 day stay in Kenya. Kenyans are very friendly people and its a MUST place to visit, its that beauitful.

Hi Paul
Your Rosy-breasted Longclaw has such nice bright markings. You caught him in a nice pose as he's singing out. Nice DOF and POV. I'm glad you didn't come across any violence in Kenya. I have a friend who has been to Kenya many times and has enjoyed his visit every time.

This photo is adorable. The subject is sharp, eyes bright, colors are brilliant, exposure perfect, and texture amazing.

I feel I can reach out and touch the soft feathers on his body, but his beak might just stop me.

By the way I love your note, and eventually, if the money ever comes my way, I also hope to visit there.

Wonderful capture of the beautiful Rosy Breasted Longclaw.
Its a very nice composition with a great POV and a lovely pose with its head turning as it sings.
