[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Hi Friends,
When I took this photo, I thought it is a new species, since it is the first time I saw an immature Diderick Cuckoo. I have been birding for a long time, and it is difficult to spot this birds. How many of you (in South Africa) has seen one in this colours?
This photo was taken at Witsand Nature reserve near Postmasburg.
Enjoy the photo, and feel welcome to post any crit or comments.
All the best
Jan

Excellent Jan. Well composed and lovely colour/detail in both the bird and the log. A little more light on the face perhaps, I would have done a workshop but I see you have that facility disabled.

'n Pragtige voël Jan! Nog nooit gesien nie Dankie vir die inligting! Foto het die nodige skerpte en detail wat mens verlang vir indentifikasie. Is jy/?sy so 'n veerpoot of is die beenvere toevallig? Net nuuskieerig.
