Birding since the late 1980s...mid 40s birder. Being out in nature and hearing the morning chorus, seeing how birds interact with their surroundings and go about their lives provides me a greater understanding of the natural environment we live in. With bird photography, every photo is different, which makes seeing the same and different species exciting.

One of my favourite photos of the trip happened in the Nanoli farms as we stopped to observe what seemed like a raptor landing in the trees. Sure enough, the hunter's golden eyes could be seen eyeing the next victim.
