I was and I did! But it was not a bird but four rather beautiful cats. One is good, two is special, three rare and four unbelievable. I had the first two before an excellent Christmas lunch back in camp (no Turkey but we had a local roast) and thought that lucky enough only to get two more after lunch. Yes! I had had a drink or two at lunch but no, I was not seeing double!

A bit late for Christmas wishes, sorry, but a Happy New Year to all of my BY friends - I really treasure this sub-community here and the fun we´re having with our feathered friends. Dave, whatever form you choose is fine, as long as you will take part!

Happy New Year to everybody!!

I don't think @Game Warden would allow cats on a bird BY or else I would be happy too.

How about this? It's even better on Video.

1. Look out! There is  a cat about.

 

2. The cat shrinks in size.

 

3. Toto trots on safely. (I don't know of any instances of a Leopard even thinking of taking a baby ellie.)

 

 

[Dave Williams]

That was well spotted!

Come on start filling Big Year 2020

@Galana that was awesome.

[Kitsafari]

Thank you @Game Warden!

Look forward to another brilliant year of gorgeous birds and stunning photos.
