    I have to say that our recent trip to Botswana was to put it mildly not exactly good for birds, although Wild Dog andLeopard were plentiful.

    This was one of the few with a reasonable outcome taken in Kwando concession, Botswana, 4th January 2012

    Hi Ken,
    I like the lines created by the head and body. The IQ is excellent and I like the detail in the breast and tummy feathers. Simple but elegant picture,

    Soon as I saw this I guessed who had taken it, and I was right! A very high quality image, beautiful pose and colours, i think you have really managed to portray this bird in a most befitting way (sounds a bit stuffy but hope you get my drift!)
