Trying to catch the Chats as they took off was quite challenging. This was the best of the lot, unfortunately nothing in its beak.

good timing here Arne
I like the wing position and the Kalahari flowers in the BG
Ideally a lower angle would have been cool but we know this isn't possible in the Kgalagadi being so close to the birds shooting out of your vehicle.

A larger post (1024) would have been nice Arne. Wing position nicely caught.

I'd say it's a really nice action/environment shot.

Thanks for the comments. Will post larger images in future.
