Southern Ground Hornbill with prey
This is what happens when you snooze in the bush and don't have one eye open. I had noticed a Black-crowned Tchagra sitting next to the road not fussed by vehicles passing by. Very unlike this species, which usually heads for the thickets rather than to stay out in the open. He/she was also...- safariranger

Red-throated Twinspot
Every now and then you get a bird sit out and pose unexpectedly. Such was the case with this Red-throated Twinspot in Mozambique recently. Unfortunately the focus was slightly out on this shot, but I liked the pose more than the others.- safariranger

Cut-throat Finch (male) - Amadina fasciata contigua

African Pygmy Kingfisher, Ispidina picta
This is one of the more sought after Kingfisher species in South Africa. Its diminutive size means it often goes unnoticed, but fortunately with a colourful appearance like this one does have a better chance in locating it. I have had good fortune seeing this species in the last year, but trying...- safariranger

Blue Waxbill - Uraeginthus angolensis
A pretty common species in South Africa, but one I have always struggled to get a decent photo of. This is the best thus far, but still needs some improvement. It just always amazes me the great colours some birds have.- safariranger

Swainson's Spurfowl - Pternistis swainsonii
Its always nice to have a subject willing to pose and relaxed with your presence so you can try a variety of shots. I was waiting for this spurfowl to open its wings, and it did a couple of times, but I clipped the wings each time, except on this shot. Quite happy with it.- safariranger

Montezuma Oropendola (male) - Psarocolius montezumai
A must see species when on a visit to Central America. A great combination of colours and a unique call make this a really special species and one to appreciate.When the male calls he progressively leans forward and looks like he will fall off the branch but then suddenly gets himself back into...- safariranger

Blue-gray Tanager - Thraupis episcopus
One of my favourite shots from CR. Its one of those photos where everything seemed to work out well. This is one of the more common Tanager species, and I tried several times to get a photo that would show just how pretty this bird is. Well at last I managed to get what I was after with this...- safariranger

Purple Roller - Coracias naevius
Just back from a 12 day Photographic Safari in the Kruger Park. Its seldom that one is able to get close enough to a Purple Roller to get a good photo. They are a lot shier than the more common European and Lilac-breasted varieties. Being focused on this one and expecting it to take-off as...- safariranger

Emerald Toucanet - Aulacorhynchus prasinus
Well how do I describe the excitement at seeing this beauty the first time. Much smaller than what I had expected. They are only 30cm in size.

Cinnamon Hummingbird - Amazilia rutila
This was the first hummingbird I saw perched for longer than 5 seconds. The ones before this were constantly on the move and impossible to get photos of. This species occurs from Mexico south to northern Costa Rica and prefers dry forests, so the habitat was a lot different from where most other...- safariranger

Green Heron - Butorides virescens
At first glance these guys look similar to our Green-backed Heron, and for a long time they were considered to be conspecific with the Green-backed Heron, but the much darker chest is definitely a distinguishing feature of this species.- safariranger
