I'm not a big bird photographer, not by choice but because my camera is a bit slow to focus and then still has a bit of a shutter lag as well. But when a bird sits still for long enough for me to focus and get a nice pic I won't let the opportunity slip by. Small birds are especially difficult for me as they always dart around but on a recent game drive at Amakhala Game Reserve a Ant-eating Chat decided to sit still on a sweet thorn tree and look around for long enough for me to get this pic of him. The Ant-eating Chat's natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry shrubland and lowland grassland and they mainly eats insects, especially ants and termites.
