Fuuuh ....
ReplyDeletewow...
ReplyDeleteThank you for such lovely photos of a rare bird. You are obviously very much in tune with nature.
ReplyDeleteBless you
As usual, a great collection of photos!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots...especially the Pitta!
ReplyDeleteSpeechless!
ReplyDeleteYou did it, Dave! Well done.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Vincent (van der Spek)
I love the hornbill shot! Wow!
ReplyDeleteit resembled a thrush more than a pitta. much nearer to a orange-head thrush albeit with green back plumage! cool.
