REVIEW OF THE HEART OF AFRICA
Morning visit to the "Heart of Africa" part of Bird Paradise. A very well maintained and clean place. No mosquitoes, butterflies or snakes are present in this area according to one helpful Filipino man working for 18 years. He said organic pesticides are used only around the ground areas where keepers frequent.
Today, the weaver birds were many and busy today, checking out the nests. At feeding time, a few species linger on the feeding dish and do not bother with close-up photography.
I managed to capture the photo of The Bearded Barbet today. It looked lonesome eating without his kind (see photo), as it appeared to be the sole species unlike the other smaller birds!
Mr Brian Peck, an experienced photographer had the 800mm lens. He was on a mission to capture a photo of the Shoebill this time. He walked further up to the top of the Aviary.
He got an excellent shot of The Shoebill - a large wading African bird of 4 - 5 feet tall with an 8-foot wingspan. It is said to be the most terrifying bird in the world. See these birds on his website, www.myfotografi.com.
