Nice bird and very pleasing background blur, Prop! How close can you get to the cisticolas and can we approach them using a vehicle as blind? Romy ... and ... ...

Thanks a lot Reyno. And I literally was happy when I got those shots. Imaging if I can nail the proper exposure and fill up my frame? I'd be ecstatic! :) TJ...

I agree with Romy for the grassland birds. However, bear in mind that the area is also a good place for rails, moorhens and crakes. You need to stay on the...
HI Steve, If you have seen the photos I posted under "FOR ID" (butterflywatcher) are the first two photos the same bird? Are the last 4 photos nuthatches?...
Mam Lyds, I have two butterflies ready for ID. So sorry for the slow production, I'm still looking for a place where they are abundant. Please drop by my...
