Congratulations on reaching #300, @xelas! Regal Sunbird is a good choice in your colourful sunbird collection?

[xelas]

Thank you, @PeterHG! It was either Regal or Rwenzori, and Zvezda's vote prevailed . 

[Galana]

Congratulations on #300. A worthy bird to do it with too. Very Regal.

[Tdgraves]

Congrats on 300

[Dave Williams]

Well done both, Zvezda's images are a joy to look at. So many small species that are often really difficult to get a good view of too. Keep them coming!

I'm afraid the Tortoise won't be giving you a run for your money this year!!

Congrats on 300 Zvezda and Alex, lovelly sunbirds, I never saw one!!

[Zim Girl]

Brilliant run up to the 300 Alex, lovely pictures from Zvezda.

[Soukous]

Beautiful sunbirds. Congratulations on making 300.

[xelas]

@Galana, @Tdgraves, @Dave Williams, @pedro maia, @Zim Girl and @Soukous, thanks for your words. Being to Uganda early in the year really makes a difference this year.

 

Sunbirds are beautiful birds, and here is the second batch of them. Enjoy!
