the talk went well, my first public presentation all in German. But tons of photos helped to make it easier ;-)
Funny, although I had some lovely shots of african wildlife with great portraits, close-ups, in landscape, showing behaviour etc. the audience was most moved by all the bird photos. Then again, it was a BirdLife talk, so who could possibly blame them for being enthralled by the likes of Lilac-breasted Rollers, Brown-hooded Kingfishers and Long-tailed Shrikes?
@Dale: seriously man, I know German is a difficult language to learn, and I heard you talk German (well, with a strong, strong Tirolean accent ;-)) and was AMAZED. I have hardly ever heard anyone talk German as a foreign language so well. If you had sweaty hands before the talk due to it being the first presentation in German, you were being completely ridiculous. I suppose you speak Afrikaans and that this was of help in learning German?

Ha!!!!!!!!!
Cheers, mate, I just posted my bit on "our" Snowfinches. Nice memories.
Looks interesting. How did it go? I'll bet people were enthralled.
