Question Charles, have you double-checked the geodata? Right now it points to a spot in the middle of nowhere, but the branch the bird is sitting on looks like it's been cut with a saw. Thanks, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 19:44, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes Frank, Montagne d’Ambre National Park. Definitely the middle of nowhere. Cut tree which would have fallen across the path. Geodata shows forest, not exact location. Charles (talk) 20:17, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support - Excellent. With such closeups, I sometimes wonder if the birds know they're being watched. :-) -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:42, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, in this particular forest, the birds seem more tame than usual. I was able to move and get this second sideways-on shot ( this image is the first one) ten seconds apart. The bird moved on the log, but didn't fly off. Charles (talk) 23:00, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support I only wish the branch wasn't cut by saw, it kind of spoils the wilderness vibes. But overall it's a great capture. --Podzemnik (talk) 08:15, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In the very early days of photography, Julius Caesar thought it was OK: Veni, Vidi, Vici. I came, I saw, I conquered. --Charles (talk) 10:42, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
