Never, ever seen this bird. Great shot. Where the heck is a Hluhluwe-Umfolozi Game Reserve? GERRY

Thanks for the kind comments. Gerald, Hluhluwe-Umfolozi is a very nice game reserve near the St-Lucia coastline just south of Swaziland - not nearly as busy or well known as e.g. Kruger but well worth visiting - see http://www.places.co.za/html/1979.html for details

Well done Alastair - A rare shot, as this bird generally sticks to the canopy; usually in the shade with twigs in the way! How did you get it into the sun?? I see these birds a few times a month, and I still have not got a decent shot!
