Some out-of-turn birds....

August 9, 2007

Had a hectic day, and just don’t have the time to make a long post of the next day at Ngorongoro Crater and the trip to the Serengeti…so I am going to post some photos of birds in no particular order…

The LILAC-BREASTED ROLLER

a picture for you

That same roller, taking off (I am thinking of and and )

The GLOSSY STARLING (as beautiful as the Superb Starling)

A STREAKY-THROATED BARBET eating breakfast

D'Arnaud's Barbet

and a RED-BILLED HORNBILL on an acacia bush (imagine sitting comfortably on a plant with thorns like that…must have been an Indian fakir in its last birth! And I think it needs lessons in applying lipstick, too…)

OK, OK, tomorrow we will have the cheetahs eating the gazelle, and the lions walking on the road….I prooooomise!
