123)Grey Kestrel

Compensation for not finding the bird we were promised by our guide.Yellow-throated Longclaw. Can't tell you where, but another guide told us none had been seen there this season so I guess we were "mislead"!

Fairly rattling along now. Lovely shots too.

Congratulations on reaching #100, and fantastic shots as usual. The Blue-Bellied Roller is a very worthy bird for that milestone, beautfiul. Very reassuring to see the Big Year rolling again. Your Reed Warbler - I think it´s really impossible to safely tell African and European apart. Longish primaries point to European, but flattish head and belly colour more to African to me.

Fantastic images, as ever, @Dave Williams

[Peter Connan]

Love your work, as always!

[PeterHG]

High-quality images again, @Dave Williams! Amazing detail on those woodpecker shots and beautiful flight shot of the Broad-billed Roller.

[Galana]

It speaks volumes for the skill of the photographer when he/she can even make an image of a Drongo look smart.
