Re: Your most prized photo

To date I do not have as many photos in my id file sitting around the 190mark with a zoo of trips to go through and sift through. I have tried to set a reasonable standard for the photos but some of them must just be included like my wattled cranes, one of the worst pics but the sighting of these birds was just WOW. Got them up in the Giants castle area during a hectic snow storm and as on cue the snow stopped as we saw them and gave us a good 10 min break to admire them before blanking out everything.
The Batteleur is one of my favorites and the parrot is just such a rarity for me and to get close and personal with these two was just WOW

Re: Your most prized photo

Lovely shots Sparks!

Here is one of mine. I think part of what made this special for me was that I found a "Falkies" chicks, recently born, in a house's braai across the road from us & watched them grow, leave & then they return to our roof tops.
