I liked it. Then I unliked it. Just so I could like it again. Exceptional!

Outstanding series Mike. I saw these monkeys on a David Attenborough documentary. These look like promo stills from that doco! Well done.

Oxpeckers on a giraffe (did you really need to be told that is was a giraffe?). Pana-Leica 100~400mm.

That first pelican image is nothing short of outstanding! Mrs. Rockies agrees.

Thanks Des very kind works but I'm sure that job went to the guy that set up his full frame Canon and 600mm lens on the biggest tripod I've even seen right next to the pool.

Rainbow Lorikeet.
Grey skies and no direct sun so resorted to using the flash to bring out the colour.
K-3 II, DFA 150-450 + AF540FGZII + Better Beamer, handheld. See exif for shot details.

Cheers,
Terry

Amazing set! I've always been partial to the sword-billed and that's a great capture of one.
