I have one suggestion, the Lilac Roller is my favorite except for purple hi lite in the eye, do a selection around the eye, Increase the black channel to get rid of the purple or clone it out, I think it will improve that image a lot.

Thans Tim. The Saddle Bill Stork is one of the most colorful birds in Africa.

Another great set of images Harsha. You have a very nice shot of a Pied Kingfisher on your website as well. It would be hard for me to pick out a favorite here. Not sure what the first Eagle is. Feathers don't seem to come all the way down the leg and the head is shaped differently than the Tawny. The Saddlebill is a female and it looks sort of like a dragonfly just ahead of her.
I see you are a cyclist too which is also one my hobbies. I will be photographing the Team time trials at the Tour De Georgia in April. What do you ride?
Grant
Hi Grant
I am not a serious biker. I rode 2000 miles last year. That was my first Ragbrai and it was a blast. I had my DSLR on the back of the bike for all 400 miles. Have you done the Ragbrai. Highly recommend it. After few bloody marys next 50 miles come fairly easy.

Very nice. I really like the pose of the crowned crane you captured in #2. We saw quite a few crowned cranes, but they were usually too busy eating to do much strutting.

I got lucky. This crane landed in front of your vehicle and start feeding.

Fantastic detail and closeness. Great set of exotic birds.
What did that lark just consume?
Thanks Jeffrey
This lark was answering the mate . They had this going on for about 2 minutes before another vehicle flush them out.
