Lovely additions.

We saw a Silverbird just like yours when we were in Kicheche Bush!

Nice capture of the usually skulking Yellow-whiskered Bulbul.

I have just caught up with your Kenya collection and what an impressive bunch it is! Many excellent photos as well.

At least I know now that my safari to Kenya next year in the Kicheche Camps will give me some nice ( and clear ) bird pictures 

[Tdgraves]

Can anyone help me with this one? Have been scratching my head for days now...

My new favourite safari outfitter - camps and guides were excellent!

[Tdgraves]

So that is it for my lifers, unless any of the pipit/larks turn up anything unusual. 60 lifers captured on camera. We had single sightings and no shots of red-cheeked cordonbleu, black sawing, short-tailed lark and most excitingly collared pratincole. So now onto those not posted in SA already....
