beautifully done, Jim. I always found it very challenging to shoot these beauties.

They're all lovely but that shot of the Pied Kingfishers is over the top good. Angles and spots and nearly monotone colors. Great stuff.

These are the easier ones of the lot. I love the malachite. It's so small and can be very shy, so any close-up is appreciated. The giant can also be tough.
BTW I only see 4 species here!

Did you get any tree/whistling ducks or other stuff in addition to these great pictures. I've always wanted to bird hunt (gun and camera) in Africa.

Pied pair is pretty awesome

Malachite, outstanding color and texture display!
The Giant looks like it could knock a hole in coconut in one stroke, wow that guy looks powerful!
Amazing 'catch' on the Hooded KF, very cool looking bird for sure

Fine set Jim
