    Wife and I are definitely interested. As always for retired folk, it depends on cost. Peter

    Lark 1 from Tsavo East - Nov 2022

    My best n00bie attempt is that these are red-capped larks. Seeking confirmation or gentle ridicule.

    Buffalo Springs (Samburu, Kenya) sparrow-like with doubts

    Initially I had this as a parrot-billed sparrow, but now I am not sure. What's with the rufous eye, the weird cheek stripes and a distinctly non-convincing parrot bill?

    Those grey legs ruled out a lot, so I thought 'thrush'. But no match. Help?

    Thomson's Falls (Kenya) foliage skulker

    Relatively large bird (25cm?). Eye definitely not red. Apologies for quality - tricky lighting and snap views.

    Masai Mara (Kenya) November 2022

    @Butty - OMG, that is brilliant !!! Well done. The very"not-epitome" of the name. Thank you so much. I would never have got it.

    Masai Mara ID assistance, please.

    To Tom And Andy: Good question. Here's what I gleaned - Eurasian buzzard (Birdlife; Arthurgrosset; Natureweb) = Common buzzard (Avibase; Ebird), which is distinctly uncommon in the Americas and Australia = Steppe Buzzard - which is a migratory subspecies (Buteo buteo vulpinus), pertinent to...

    Masai Mara ID assistance, please.

    Waxwings limited edition prints

    I really enjoy your work. I can just feel the wind ruffling those feathers, with the odd bird bobbing to maintain its balance. Only a skilled artist can invoke such sensations.

    Gracias Rafael. He maligns himself when he states that he is not an artist, just an illustrator.

    One year later in wildlife

    Since this is my first post on this topic, a short intro. Raised in South Africa and as a geologist I worked in the 'bush'. I only became interested in birds at a relatively late stage. Regarding art, I started in Spain about 5 years ago (after retirement) doing water-colours, mostly Spanish...
