And congratulations on being "bitten by the birding bug." It's a wonderful obsession to have.<BR/><BR/>I'm green with envy at the thought of being able to see African Fish Eagles and other birds that you mention on you site.<BR/><BR/>I just ran across your <I>My Bird Sightings</I> blog and am adding it to my list of African Bird Blogs, doubling the number of known bird blogs from the "Dark Continent."<BR/><BR/>It's nice to make your acquaintance, and good birding!John L.

But I love it!<BR/><BR/>Since then I've been on great trips to search for special birds (although about every trip I go on I find new birds because my list is so small still.)<BR/><BR/>There really is nothing like sitting in some hidden bird hide for 3 hours and watching a special bird like the African Fish Eagle or some of our king fishers hover and hunt fish.<BR/><BR/>Here are link to two of these trips from my blog. Keep up the interesting posts.<BR/><BR/>http://outings.thinusbotha.co.za/2006/08/finding-famous-grouse.html<BR/>http://outings.thinusbotha.co.za/2006/09/birding-in-rietvlei-nature-reserve.html<BR/><BR/>Regards<BR/>Thinus <BR/>South AfricaThinushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14013129319804064064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3364158.post-20582820143200880612007-05-27T12:07:00.000-04:002007-05-27T12:07:00.000-04:00I ignore my wife, the dog, and my household chores...I ignore my wife, the dog, and my household chores.
