Nice set with great colours - number 1 just edges it as the best one IMHO.

Beautiful photos of some stunning birds. Love the two turaco ones personally. The green background and bokeh sets #4 off brilliantly, but #3 is my fave. Not even sure why, but I love it. Very impressive.

Very good photos, 1 and 4 stand out for me.
I take it these were captive, as neither of the Turacos are found in southern Africa (although the Knysna Lourie from the Eastern Cape is a close relative of the Green Turaco)
Where in South Africa was this?

Cheers everyone, all taken in Birds of Eden Free flght sanctuary, I did get a shot of a Knysna Laurie somewhere. This place is massive and if your ever in SA its well worth a visit.

Difficult to pick a favourite they are all great but my two best are #2 (Love the colours of this bird) and #4 (last of the mohicans)
