WOW Outstanding shot. I admire it. It is very difficult to take a photo like that. I am trying to take some but is really hard ;) good work ;)

If you see some then just sit still so that they get used to you and they will ignore you after a while (20 min plus) and then you can snap away. 👍

I will try thank you for your advice ;) ))

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww :)

I know. It however is quite a vicious bird that bullies the others.😊

Well darn, I still think they're adorable:)

This is stunning! I am South African too, although I stay in Cape Town .
