For a change I thought I would post photos of some of the wonderful and colourful birds I came across during my trip to the Mara in June.

cheers Safariman, all lovely, beautiful shots of some of the birds you can see out in the Mara. Although I'm a 'cat woman' myself I do appreciate the many birds that are out there and it really must be a bird spotters paradise at times.

All stunning shots but especially like your Verreaux's Eagle Owl and your Tawny Eagle Birds of the Masai Mara, June 2012 71418

WOW Safariman. Some beautiful bird photos there. I love birds so am always trying to get some photos of them. East Africa has some really stunning birds.

I know the LBR is the one every takes a photo of, but they really are so magnificent with all their colours.

Thanks for sharing.

OH MY, what stunning pictures, I too love birds, always have and always will. I adore the Lilac Breasted Roller and also the Little Bea Eater, such stunning birds and gentle to look at but I must say the one that has truely stollen my heart there is the Verreaux's Eagle, what a stunning, stunning bird, those ears and eyelids but there is just something magical about him I love you

All those shots have something really special about them safariman and I have been scrolling up and down really taking them in but I keep coming back to the most stunning Eagle.

Thanks so much for them, really enjoyed seeing them cheers

Really great photos again Safariman. I love the ones of the Raptors, and LBR. I really like my Birds to, and I've managed to get a few different ones off the Web Cams on here at Petes Pond Sabi Sands, and Africam, that Lai's helped me identify, but I would really love to go to Africa, and get some real shots. Thanks for sharing them with us
