Lilac-breasted Roller Flying. Missed by a beak!
This is the Roller shot that I nearly nailed, lost by a beak- next time! Immature Great white Pelican, Grey Heron, African Darter, Yellow-billed Stork, Pink-backed Pelican & Wattled Crane. How close are the animals when I photograph them? Some too fare away to get great shots but are great for reminders of what I saw. The lions mouth gives some indication of just how close some

Lion Mouth
animals do get. Some too close to focus <1.5mt. Some close enough to check mouth hygiene!!!
