Posted by Loretta (Pretoria, South Africa) on 23 January 2013 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

Hey guys, with this image I'm out of here for a while. Just too much work to do, but I will have a look from time to time at the people I follow. Thanks for you kind comments and time always!

Thanks for visiting my blog and the comments that you post. It is very much appreciated although I might not participate as much as I would like to, due to a heavy workload.

OMG ... that bird is so tiny and that tail soooo long! Unbelievable pretty! And the birds are so cooperative, not hiding behind leafs or branches but posing in the open like a professional model. Beautiful capture!
