Well done for reaching 100 (I know you like round numbers :) )

Beautiful shots throughout - but I really like the White-throated Swallows

@@xelas,

You're really getting up steam, Alex and Zvezda! Lots of good species and I have to agree with TonyQ about the swallows. Beautiful!

Wow!!! Amazing variety and picture quality!

There is no way I would ever dare to post anything anymore...

#100 is a beauty. You might like round numbers (we all do) but I hope you have more to post here :)

Thank You all for taking time and commenting on our photos! There is one more special bird from South Africa, and then I will start with local birds. So more is coming this way!

Welcome aboard, Zvezda and Alex, happy to see you both here! Many many great shots. I´m very sorry for not "liking" more, but I´ve done a bit of ST catch-up, and so the system told me "You have reached your quota for likes for the day" already on page 1. Will make up for it next Sunday, promise!

 

Congratulations on already reaching 100, I really enjoyed seeing all the KTP birds (again), and am looking forward very much to your Slovenian feathered friends. What an attractive Nr. 100, really like that bird.

There is one more bird from Marienvale, South Africa. I am sure everyone is familiar with iconic photo done by @@Peter Connan : Ladies and Gentlemen, I present you

The bird is famous for its fishing tactic that gave it the nickname The Umbrella Bird:

And, although already presented in the Rietvlei section, I hope you do not mind me adding a couple more photos of Long-Tailed Widowbird.
