Amazing!! :o

kk, I have no idea how you can manage to produce such shots so consistently and so frequently. This is essentially perfect in every aspect. ;) You are truely a master in this area!!

Did you take these in the bird hides or outside?

Anguslau,

Actually KK is increadibly patient and will wait all day for that one shot whereas most of us would have given up and gone for "Yum Cha"

What Bob said is right!
Persistance and patience are all essential parts of bird photography. There is no short cut to it ... ::)
