Not enough birds from SL to reach 300 :( so will need to wait till November :) .

 

@@Peter Connan

Thanks Peter. We are counting on your help to reach (and surpass) 300 after our trip to South Africa !

Indeed they are very colourful ... but also very shy and way too many of them prefers to stay in the shade and not on the sun :rolleyes: .

Yet another competitor reaches 200 and aims for 300, I'll be lucky the get much over 200 (and that'll still be my highest total....)

 

Well done!

Wow @@xelas, what a great set you've just added (perhaps your still adding.....:)). The Peacock, the Thick-knee, the Serpent Eagle great shots! Well all of them are, to be fair. The detail in the Jerdon's Bushlark is absolutely stunning. Excellent work by Zvezda, a joy to see.

Thanks, @@PeterHG for your tips! Obviously the slightly different approach to post processing works.
