Kaapsedraai, great image and thank you for uploading. :clap:

It is almost time for me to go back, these images reminded me why it is such a special place and why we spend many hours at LP.

I cannot agree with you more, Jan.

This blue waxbill was busy building a nest, but it was extremly difficult to get a nice clear shot. I guess, it adds to the variety one can expect at 'the Lake'.

Kaapsedraai, I can imagine your frustration with the Waxbill's positioning.

This thread just gets better and better. Great to see other mites on board.

Kaapsedraai, awesome picture of the Thick-billed Weaver! The Blue Waxbill definitely is too busy to pose for a picture! Nice shot anyway! :clap:

Thank you to all for your comments.
It is much appreciated, but is busy planning a TR and will start one hopefully soon of our trip in Dec'12 from the south to the north and back. :think:

'Scratch & win' photo of the white-breasted cormorant was taken by my wife.
