Not only raptors but also smaller birds were a joy to photograph; birding in Namibia is indeed excellent.

Very nice. I never pictured Namibia to be a birding place but from your recent posts it looks like a great place for a bird nerd like me. Someday, someday....

@surfnron
Thanks, Ron! Is it the background that makes #2 standing out?

@arbitrage
Geoff, birds are not so colourful as in Panama or Costa Rica but much easier to photograph due to plenty of light. Adding the raptors, and other bigger bids (hornbills, owls) each day brings out another surprise.

It's a combination of the clean bg and the way the color makes the bird stand out ~ Ron

Thanks, Morris. I can see that proper background is very important part of the bird photography. Something to think about next time.
