Me too @Tdgraves

 

297's up...

details as before (4th from the left)

 

 

297) Lesser flamingo

[Tdgraves]

Still lots of processing to do for KNP, so I thought I'd do the new birds to take me over the triple century and then there will be a hiatus

Congratulations on #300, well done! Beautiful photo of the White-Throated Robin-Chat, have never seen that one.

[Tdgraves]

thanks @michael-ibk I actually had two separate sightings at two different camps, but that was the best photo

[TonyQ]

Congratulations on reaching 300, and what an excellent bird and photo to achieve it!

[lmSA84]

Congrats on the 300! 

[Tdgraves]

and the last one that we definitely identified as new when we were there. Maybe I'll find a couple more when I process the rest...

Given that it is now October, I feel that I need to start posting Kruger birds, even though only about half of the photos have been processed so far. So I will go in chronological order and hopefully I can remember whether I got better shots later in the trip, in order to avoid posting duplicates, well, that's the theory anyway. The other solution is to crack the whip and get the photo-processor to work faster! I'll start with birds around camp, as that usually means a close view...
