  3. I agree with Ann (above) about the painted stork! Beautiful! I also love the Coppersmith Barbet, the White-breasted Kingfisher and the black robin. I've never heard of a black robin! But my favourite photo was of the man taking the cows for a walk!

  19. Your bird photos are always so exceptional. I enjoy them so much. The Kingfisher's bill looks almost as big as his body! I think maybe I am not patient enough to photograph birds! Thanks for linking up today.

  21. I was wondering what that was...a Painted Stork! How unusual! We have Storks but they are white. Yours are beautiful! Love all of the wonderful bird photos. What a great day to take photographs!
