Yet another month has flown by and March is upon us. Both January and February have been incredibly busy months with some freelance guiding in Madikwe, Photographic Workshops and Day Trips into Pilanesberg, as well as a host of other transfers to various places.

With the year “flying by” so quickly, I thought some birds in flight would be quite appropriate for this months FREE Desktop Backgrounds. As always, if you would like to download the file, simply click on the image and then select the “download” button when the image opens in the Box.net window.

This first image is of two White Faced Whistling Ducks in Flight which was taken in Madikwe Game Reserve. I was actually busy trying to get a nice shot of the sunset when i noticed these guys flying off to my left. I quickly swung around and managed to rattle of two frames before the moved into poorer light. Luckily this one turned out alright.

This second image is of a Yellow Billed Egret which was taken from the Rathlogo Hide in Pilanesberg National Park. The hides in Pilanesberg are excellent for bird photography, allowing one to get fairly close to the birds without disturbing them.

March promises to be an exciting month with various activities on the go including some guiding in Madikwe Game Reserve as well as a trip up to Kapama Private Game Reserve. A nice leopard shot on the cards for next months Desktop Backgrounds perhaps? Lets hope!
