Howard,

Great shots all.  Love the Pelican shot, and the Buffalo and the Egret shot 
is also really nice.

Hi Luggers,
As a change of pace from all that sex on the savannas here are a few  
pictures from Lake Nakuru - Kenya's pre-eminent bird sanctuary.

Pelicans taken with the GH2 and the 100 - 300. I found the bird  
photography frustrating. There were so many birds it was very hard to  
shot a group of them without having a distracting background. Lake  
Nakuru is famous for its flamingos but they were always too far away  
for my glass.

Esther's picture of Birchell's zebras. The 45 - 200 worked well with  
the bigger animals but was less successful with the birds - not enough  
reach.

Here's Esther's take on water buffalo and bird.

C&C always welcome. Please look large.

Cheers
