What a sterling shot, Steve! I knew it was yours well before I saw your name. Everything about this image is so nice! I just love it.

Thanks again, Mike!

Outstanding portrait of the common buzzard, Sid! So true to life.

Thanks very much Mike, that's the closest I've been to a perched buzzard, it was only about 9 or 10 metres away and posed very nicely thanks! cheers!

This female Superb Fairy Wren appeared and was just begging to have her photo taken. How could one resist?

You had to do it, Richard! I completely understand your situation. And I must say, "what a killer shot!" I absolutely love it!

What a terrific capture, Steve! I've simply run out of adjectives to describe the great quality of all the images you post. If you would post some of your non keepers, then I could come up with some new, never before used, comments.

Many thanks Mike.
Beauty certainly is in the eye of the beholder.
Stork looks like a badly weathered Garden Statue.
Happy trails.

Outstanding close-up capture of the stork with a delightfully tasting looking snack, Paul! The sharpness and detail are amazing.

Yellow house finch... first time for me, in fact I've never seen one before. We get the red house finches all the time, so seeing this variation in coloring was really exciting and made my day.

Congratulations, this is quite a catch, Manny! Never have I seen the yellow version of the house finch. You nailed the sharpness beautifully.

Steve this is really beautiful, bird and composition.
The stance can add so much to photos and this is one such time.

thanks Mike. Very much appreciated. I did think you'd like her

My feathered buddy all summer long, George. He stopped showing up a few days ago, and as it is that time of year, I assume he departed for his South American winter home.

He's certainly entertained us and not just you Ltsed65.
This really is very nice. Colours, pose and detail.

Dennis one can't overlook that one. A beautiful photo of a very focused raptor. Awesome

Happy trails.

Paul one can't say that's not a very well executed photo.
I find it a very appealing one. Fascinating bird

Western Kingbird

Certainly an attractive bird Mike. Quite a pose it's got there.
You've encapsulated all of that beauty in your photo very well.
