Progressing well.

The White backed Vulture is superb, and I really like your Great Crested Grebe with fish - it is amazing what they can swallow!

Some of our reserves we do get close to the birds, but some are distant. I think we actually get closer in many of the areas that are not reserves. If all else fails, I crop :) .

@@Tdgraves, the Lanner Falcon is beautiful and a great shot of the Vulture. I'm intrigued by the variety of Bird feeders too, Those of you posting from UK and Europe seem to have a whole range of both feeders and food. Something we don't see here.

Congrats on #150, and the Woodland Kingfisher is a very worthy bird for that post indeed.

I have just realised that I have duplicated the fork-tailed drongo and Southern grey-headed sparrow, so I will take 2 off of my total :(. Must double-check.....

 

Have also missed this one out of my TR:
