Striated heron.jpg
Striated heron aka Green-backed heron aka Mangrove heron is a bit difficult to photograph as it seems to be quite shy. So every time you want to get closer, it flies away or is hiding deeper under the mangrove trees. I was so lucky to spot this one on open reef/by the beach and made several...- Nick Muri

Martial Eagle ER6_2681.jpg
The Martial Eagle was arguing with a Tawny Eagle over who should get feasting rights to a dik-dik (very small deer) that was lying dead next to the road. No real contest, but it meant that the Martial Eagle posed for us just 2 m from the road. Fantastic view, and I am so glad I got the shot.- Aliks

A long hunt for this Taita Hills endemic. The park guides took us to the right area, but we just got glimpses for nearly an hour before I managed to get a shot in focus. Nice to get the first photo of this bird onto Birdforum. I cant edit the Opus, but I am happy for this photo to be added to...- Aliks
