+1 on the good wishes for your health. I hope by now you're at home again.

Thanks, home today - much better!

Sorry to hear you had an operation, I hope you are fully recovered by now!

[Dave Williams]

Wishing you a speedy recovery, hope you are fighting fit again soon.

Just caught up with your awesome Kruger birds, I think the ground hornbill shots are my favourites - including the duplicates.

 

Hope you are well on the mend. 

[Tdgraves]

Thanks @michael-ibk @Dave Williams and @shazdwn

 

been home since Monday, feeling a lot better, but still a way to go. Not allowed to drive for 6-8 weeks and no heavy lifting (e.g. a camera). Hopefully can post some more Kruger birds this week.

Good to read you are home again. Here's to a good recovery. Take it easy, get a lighter camera! Doctor's orders!!
