Oooh!!! Great goodness Mehd... what a wonderful trip you had and another great find!!

A lovely picture you've taken of this sicklebill, and another first for Opus too.

Very well done, and many thanks for sharing your great pictures with us.

You have witnessed something very few people have seen and got some reasonable shots of.The Black Sicklebill usually displays very early in the morning when light is poor.Superb achievement! Having guided and seen these birds ourselves-we really appreciate these postings.
