Nice collection sir Ely, I like the shikra. Its eyes are fierce and sharp!

Thank you Elvin. I will not be able to post any pictures for the next two weeks as my laptop broke down and my processing files are on that computer. I hope the weather will be sunny so I can go birding.

Great series Ely, I thought they were the all the same, didn't notice the numbers at the end.
Anyway, it's so nice to see the counterpart species of what we see here like the Coucal and the Horn Bill.
Too bad about your Laptop breakdown.

Great series, Ely!
In your experience birding here and in foreign lands, was it easier to bird there? Were the birds tame, as in you can approach and be near them?

I guess you can call that the normal wear and tear of a computer. The good part is that its covered by extended warranty. The sad part is the waiting time. |

Great series, Ely! In your experience birding here and in foreign lands, was it easier to bird there? Were the birds tame, as in you can approach and be near them? Birds react the same way. If you get too close they fly away. Whey they don't feel threatened than you can get closer than usual just like here. The only thing that makes it more exciting is that you get to see birds that you have never seen before. It is just as exciting here when you see the bird for the first time. I still have some birds photos to be shared with the Forum. When I get my computer back, I will post those in Cape Town, Sun City and the return to Mauritius which I like best because I had breakfast with some of the birds on our last day. Heh heh heh. |
