Good Morning and Happy Furry Friday From Beijing. I am Franny Flickr and we are at the stadium early this morning to watch China’s Synchronized Bird Watching team practice. This famous cat team's coach, KaiLing Faulkner is here with us to answer questions about how the team is doing and what she expects in the way of medals during the competition this weekend.

FF - Good morning KaiLing and thank you for letting us in to film the early morning routines today. Tell us please what is the team to watch in the Synchronized Bird Watching event?

KF - Definitely China’s most excellent and promising team again comes from Xiamen - Taj and Kita, who performed so well in 2004 in Athens.

FF - Yes we all remember the not only extremely accurate pairs skills this team has but also its unusual sensitivity. How are they doing at this point?

Finally, after hundreds of wrong shots, blurred flying poultry and bunches of feathers in the air that reminded a bird as hardly as an exhaust can renind a complete car, I got it! :)

Compared to my first 'Birdwatching' (and no: it isn't hidden advertising, though you're welcome if you want to have a look at it :p) this time I managed to instill more... how can I say... life? lol

Anyway, I'm very proud of this shot, especially after so many failed attempts. No matter the technical quality and the bit of of one wing clipped out of frame: it's a personal achievement, and that's the reason why I'm posting it.

And you're welcome if you want to guess whom I just misquoted :) lol
