Back in South Africa for another Jeff Clow Photo Tour Safari Extravaganza. Got a solid 8 hours sleep after a 15 hour red-eye flight. We are headed to our lodge tomorrow and Jeff sponsored a trip to a bird sanctuary for this morning's activities. For my fellow photographer friends, you read that right, a BIRD Sanctuary (I am known as not liking taking photos of them). A very strange and funny thing happened this morning - I actually took a few shots of birds that are probably pretty good. This photo of a Spotted Thick-Knee was one them. So, will I become a bird photographer now? Most likely not but I will ask my friend John McCaine if this photo is passable.
