I love it when a plan works well! The secretive Buff-spotted Flufftail can be exceedingly difficult to see, but this fine male popped up and showed brilliantly to all of the group, on my recent @Birdquest #Malawi tour! Happy days! #BirdsSeenIn2023 #canonr5 @Africabirdclub

#Malawi only has one endemic bird, but it is a little beauty that my @Birdquest group enjoyed at close range on the Zomba Plateau... the delightful Yellow-throated Apalis. #BirdsSeenIn2023 @Africabirdclub @CanonUKandIE #wildlifephotography

We've been having an excellent and successful time on the @Birdquest tour to #Malawi. Here's a couple of highland goodies from Nyika NP: Scarlet-tufted Sunbird and the sublime Montane Widowbird #BirdsSeenIn2023 #wildlifephotography @CanonUKandIE

I've just been working through a few #PNG photos from my @Birdquest tour earlier this year. There really are a lot of spectacular birds in this part of the world, but few more amazing than the incredible Ribbon-tailed Astrapia #wildlifephotography #BirdsSeenIn2023 @CanonUKandIE

There are a few candidates for the best gull in the world. Ross's, Ivory and Sabine's Gulls are all hard to overlook, but the bug-eyed, night-feeding, Swallow-tailed Gull from #Galapagos must be right up there. #BirdsSeenIn2023 @CanonUKandIE @Birdquest #wildlifephotography

We're blowing the cobwebs off our old twitter account, hence the surprised expression on this Brown Fish Owl's face. #birdquest
