Ethiopia, part one.

We have just come back from 2 weeks in Ethiopia and it's quite a job going through over 2,000 photos. Ethiopia was brilliant for birds of prey so I have done some of them first along with Bustards and Hornbills. We had a great time and although parts were really quite rough, especially the nearer you got to the Somali border, It was not as bad as we expected.

  7. How wonderful for you to be able to visit Ethiopia! What a gorgeous selection of bird images! It's especially fun to view so many birds I have never seen before. The groshawk, Martial Eagle and various hornbills really caught my eye ... though all are fabulous. Looking forward to viewing more fantastic photographs taken in Ethiopia!
