    Wow. Those bee-eaters are such colorful birds and the fish eagle is an impressive eagle! You can really tell how old world vultures are so closely related to the raptors. The talons on that white backed vulture are quite imposing. They certainly aren't like the new world vulture talons around here in the US. Thanks for sharing.

    Wow, I love them all, so exotic, but the Crown Cranes look so amazingly elegant in flight. Great captures!

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
