Zvezda & Alex 4th time: Just birdin'

[pedro maia]

The kinfishers and bee-eaters batch was outstanding.

Thanks, @pedro maia. It is easy to get a decent photo when the bird is attractive and the sun is smiling widely !

Is the upload sequence to keep us guessing where you'll finish? I'm expecting to eat dust soon!!! No problem, I'm used to it!!!

Not really, @Dave Williams. About "eating dust", I am always open to exchange your Quality for our Quantity .

Not much wrong with the quality here!

[Kitsafari]

love your bee-eater, roller and barbet series (es?)! nothing wrong with the quality in this thread indeed.

Thanks, @Peter Connan. and @Kitsafari. What I am jealous about are how clutter-free, with creamy-smoooth backgrounds Dave's photos are.

Nice of you to sat so Alex, must admit I'd never given it much thought. I do often think that chasing numbers has a negative effect on image quality though. One of the reasons I decided to stay local in The Gambia.
