Haha, fantastic shot of the ospreys, Ed! Is that the nest located in Richmond?

Spectacular shot, Shalu...amazingly sharp. I wonder what he's yelling at her for?

Thank you very much, Mike! I heard it say "Yes, baby!" three times. So I guess the female will lay 3 eggs and they will have 3 chicks

You have a very good ear for white-tailed kite language, Shalu. I personally don't speak or understand it. Looking forward to finding out whether or not they have 3 babies.
Very sharp close-up image of the mocker. Wonderful detail.

Archi...this is a strikingly beautiful, yet odd looking bird. You really photographed him well.

Really nice shot of the "greenie " Paul.

Stellar shot, Paul.

Spectacular shot, Shalu...amazingly sharp. I wonder what he's yelling at her for?

Two very nice shots, Shirl. I especially like the first one.

All nicely done photos.

Gorgeous Ibis shot, Shirl

Very attractive image, Graham.

Thanks Mike for the complements Shirl
