Nothing wrong with the quality of these latest additions. Keep them coming.

Sadly some bad news. For some reason my link took me back a few pages and whilst dwelling there I noticed #140 Booted Eagle.  I am afraid that it is a juv. Martial Eagle.

Always open to suggestions @Galana, but I don’t think it looks like any juvenile martial that I have ever seen....yellow and black bill, rufous/brown feathers, not speckled, white leading edge to wings, tail not barred, feet yellow. Also it was quite small, but this is impossible to tell from a photo.

Great stuff, especially like the Red-breasted Swallow and the Saddle-billed - stork! Didn't know our Hobby migrates that far South.

I am more than happy to leave it to you, its your post but I don't see any 'boots' and I do see a barred under tail.

Sorry to inform you, @Tdgraves, but the true art of the EBC is still something you will have to post! Above photos, they are all good enough to be easily recognisable !

Continue to scrap the barrel, #200 is just around the corner!!

So post them soon, @Tdgraves .

 

On a side note, I wanted to ask before: how much of cropping do you apply on your photos? For example, how much did you crop #191 ??

@xelas the answer is, it depends. #191 was quite far away, so about 1/3 has been taken out of the edges (and that was our best photo op for that bird ). For close subjects, less and usually only to get rid of branches, bits of other critters etc.

 

EBCs to follow....
