Facebook Pic of the Week: 15 to 21 September 2014

We had a specified theme on this week - #AfricanWings and it was all about "Birds in Flight". Birds are incredibly graceful and beautiful, and their mechanism of flight has always enthralled man.

We recieved some amazing submissions! This photo of a hovering Pied Kingfisher was taken by Mark Needham from the USA. You can see more of his work here:

Facebook Pic of the Week: 19 to 25 May 2014

Good day, friends! Our theme for the week of 19 to 25 May 2014 was all about water - "Aqua Zone". Our community shared wonderful images showing in some way or another Africa's bodies of water and the animals and birds that congregate around them. The hashtag to view the images was #AquaZone.

This photo by Mike Muizebelt really stood out to us. It shows a Pied Kingfisher hovering over a river in the Kruger National Park, with the sun reflected off the surface in beautiful blotches of bokeh! Based in the Netherlands, you can see more of Mike's photography on his website: www.mmfoto.nl
