Spectacular IQ on each. I said it in the first thread you posted of photos from Tanzania, you have set the bar higher. Obviously your photography is another place wherein wonderful things come from harvesting the bottom of the barrel.

Another excellent series Ed! I've enjoyed looking at all of your Tanzania bird installments.

Well done!

Thanks folks! You know, according to the rules, if someone asks me to, I can post a few more images in this thread rather than starting a whole new thread ;)
