I had my first encounter with a group of those pretty birds. Made my day. :)

Hi folks! Here is the "white bird" (indeed it's all white :p) from Reunion Island. It's a hopping bird, pretty hard to capture. I was lucky for this shot, it was still for 2 seconds. Regards

Last week we went for a little break away and I got up early at a spot that looked like it would be good for birding and I was amazed at how many species I managed to spot there! The African stone chat is a beautiful little bird that I had on my list of birds I really want to photograph for the...
