I have created a Mission for East Africa and cordially invite you to add you serengeti photos to this new mission. http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/402896137

Thanks PrincessHannah - it does look that way, doesn't it? I've often noticed birds look like that when you take a photo straight on. Either that or they really don't like being photographed ;)
TL
Argy Bee, I was thinking the same, but didn't want to offend anyone (birds included) who might like the less-stunning cousins :)
TL
Thanks Jill!
