I love the woodlands shot. Being a South African, I know how hard it is to get a great shot like this as they are seldom on low branches of trees. I hope you know how fortunate you were to get this shot and you pulled it off brilliantly . Well done!

Thank you for looking and commenting, it's greatly appreciated. These were taken in South Africa but they can be seen over most of sub Sahara Africa
