Of my photo excursions, South Africa was the most productive. In 11 days, traveling to a number of sites, I got images of over 140 birds, 22 mammals and several reptiles and invertebrates. So many beautiful birds, it’s hard to choose which to publish but here are just a few:

Great images. Hand held or tripod?

Great shots. Looks like to me they could use a little more aggressive sharpening. Thanks for showing.

Great bird shots Dean. Here's a book that others might find useful/informative if interested in photographing or learning about birds in Southern Africa. chase

one could make the case of going to SA just to do birds.

I'm going to Africa in February. Not Southern but Kenya. Hoping to get some good bird photos. Is there a comparable book for African birds in that region? I know we are talking about 3000 miles further north so I imagine different birds. Great shots by the way!
