Comment: Hi Matthijs I love your photo's of birds... especially the South African birds. I have fallen in love with the birds that frequent our garden in KwaZulu Natal and I have discovered how very difficult it is to take 'decent' photographs of a birds... never mind a good or even great one (all mine are awful *smile*)! So your website and photo's are really gorgeous and inspiring. Thanks! Mands

Comment: Vol verbazing heb ik naar je prachtige foto's gekeken. Zo bedacht ik dat jij in ieder geval als je het genezen van zieke dieren beu bent, je misschien met wat geluk en inzet een professionele fotocariere kunt beginnen. Erg mooi en indrukwekkend. Mochten we in de buurt zijn, gaan we er samen op uit om wat beesies te bekijken.

Comment: Hoi Matthijs, ik had net ineens uit het niets Johan aan de telefoon over het paard wat ik in de Peerdepieten koers heb gereden... wat een verrassing! Ook attendeerde hij me op je site. Wat fantastisch dat je dit bent gaan doen! Ik fotografeer zelf ook graag, en dan het liefst de walvissen, dolfijnen en andere zeezoogdieren. Dit jaar naar Canada om daar de wildernis te bekijken (ook daar zou jij mooie foto's kunnen maken!). Ik vind je foto's prachtig en ik vind het ongelooflijk dat je die kleine vogeltjes zo dichtbij en scherp op de foto kunt krijgen. Ik begrijp nooit hoe het kan ;-) Dus als ik met mijn vriend ooit nog een keer naar Zuid-Afrika gaan kom ik bij jou een cursus volgen! Leuk om te zien dat het zo goed met je gaat! Groetjes van Paulien

Comment: This is not necessarily for your guestbook. I came across your awesome site when I was trying to learn more about a Pygmy Falcon, of which I had a zoo photo. I maintain a site BirdPhotos.com where I feature good images over 1024 pixels from anywhere I can get them. I think you accidentally left your Pygmy Falcon out there in a higher resolution, but I am always looking for contributors, especially those with pictures of the quality and uniqueness of yours. I wish you continued success.

I was not sure if you check FaceBook much so thought i would try and send a message this way, plus have a look at your pictures. Hope house is sorted now and you guys are settled I bet you are in your element with the wildlife out there. Hope you are all well. My friends are running Phezulu safari park in Durban, Valley of a thousand hills. So hopefully sometime soon we will be over and we could meet up. take care of yourselves Sarah (JVC) :)xx
