Africa Wild

These posts have moved off-topic, and I would like too bring it back - if for nothing else, to understand the rationality of moving from Nikon to Canon after so many years. Clearly you have (have had/still have) top-of-the-line Nikon equipment and have been able to capture wonderful wildlife images ...

To chip in on some comments above, there are a few things to note. My comments are my opinions, but are often based on scientific and other research from what I consider to be reasonably reliable and oft-thought-of credible sources. Please do not take offence to some of my opinions, as no offence ...

As a "thinker" rather than a "do-er", please ...

I use a simple spreadsheet format to track and record my lifer bird sightings. Have a look at the format and content and see if it can be useful (The content should be). It contains a full list of Southern African Birds, the Roberts VII names, the older and changed Roberts VI names, and provides for ...

Firstly, ^Q^ O0 ^Q^ to all the people involved in putting this bird book together. I believe it could become a wonderful online source for those requiring a good reference when trying to identify as-yet-to-be-identified bird pictures. Kudos to you all.

Two comments: Firstly, the first photo seems to have a bit of lens-flare, so just make sure that ...
