Is the surprise jumping from page 51 to 54 and 55?

Doubling back is not allowed!

[xelas]

Damn you are so impatient, @Galana! Here it goes; the surprise is not the bird but the photographer! And to some, the quality of his photos (to me anyway) ! And no, I have not jumped forward or backward .

Thanks, Michael! I doubt there will be "many" but I know there will be "several" .

Congratulations on reaching #100. A beautiful flight shot of the Jacana!

[Peter Connan]

Fantastic shot Alex, and congrats on the century

[xelas]

Thank you both, Peter and Peter. We were lucky to pick the right country at the right time .
