(Thamnolaea cinnamomeiventris)
The mocking cliff chat, mocking chat or cliff chat, is a species of chat in the family Muscicapidae which occurs in rocky habitats in much of eastern Sub-Saharan Africa.
The mocking cliff chat is a large chat with distinctive colouration. The male has a glossy black with a chestnut belly, vent, and rump and white shoulder patches. The shoulder patches vary in size geographically. The female is dark grey with a chestnut lower breast, belly, and vent. The mocking cliff chat has a length of 19–21 cm and weigh 41–51g.
A loud fluty melodious warbling song which often contains many rapid fire phrases mimicking other species, with some harsher phrases interspersed.
The mocking cliff chat occurs in a neat band from central Ethiopia in the north through east Africa into Zimbabwe, south-eastern Botswana, southern Mozambique and eastern South Africa as far as the far east of Western Cape province. Mostly resident but in the south of its range tends to move to lower altitudes in the winter months.
The mocking cliff chat inhabits rocky and boulder strewn areas, well-wooded rocky ravines, cliffs, gullies, boulder-strewn hillsides and watercourses in valley bottoms with scattered rocks.
There are six currently recognised subspecies
Thamnolaea cinnamomeiventris kordofanensis Wettstein, 1916: Nuba Mountains, in central Sudan.

Thamnolaea cinnamomeiventris. subrufipennis Reichenow, 1887: eastern South Sudan and south-western Ethiopia south through the Rift Valley and Tanzania to eastern Zambia and Malawi.
Thamnolaea cinnamomeiventris odica Clancey, 1962: Eastern Zimbabwe.
Thamnolaea cinnamomeiventris cinnamomeiventris (Lafresnaye, 1836): Eastern Botswana, eastern South Africa, western Swaziland and Lesotho.
Thamnolaea cinnamomeiventris autochthones Clancey, 1952; Southern Mozambique south to north-eastern South Africa and eastern Swaziland.

A pic of me jumping off the kiddie cliff at Rick's Cafe in Jamaica. I was going to jump off the big cliff, but Heather said she wouldn't come and visit me in the Jamaican Hospital. She said she would be back at the resort on the beach sipping a Pina Colada and I thought to myself, you know that sounds much better than dying so kiddie cliff it was.

Two people peer intently at the Miocene deposit which makes up Scientists Cliffs.
If you peer intently too, you can find shells of ancient animals compressed into the clay. My friend, who is looking down at the end, found a sharks tooth moments after this photo was taken! The water is constantly washing away the deposit and exposing new fossils, so its alright to have a look and pick up some yourself.

Enjoy!
I hardly take photographs in black and white , but if I do it is only because I believe that these colors could never express their true nature.
The black and white should be used with the proper precautions , I think that if a person is not able to get a good black and white, it is better to continue to leave the photos in color.
Going down a creek cliff called " s'archittu " ( given by the shape of an arc of a rocky cliff ), I placed at the ends of this , the tide began to rise , the waves were arranged in a tremendous flurry of foam that s'infrangeva along the rocks.
Around me, a natural swimming pool where the water swirl it possible to admire the strength of the waves.
Set up the tripod behind a rock I put it calmly in focus, after placing the ND3 .0 I took 3 shots from about 20 seconds .
Back home I viewed the file , after a quick preparation LR5 I merged these with the same method as the previous photo .
But this time the colors are not communicated anything to me , the black and white was the right choice!
I particularly love the black and white shots of Sebastião Salgado , one day I 'd like to get whites and blacks so vivid and valuable , full of nuances and facets.
But now I'll settle mine, a hard and stark black and white but that reflects well on my way to shoot.
The cliffs at Burton Bradstock could pass for somewhere in Utah.
