I saw this chap at a local bird reserve(uk) back in January/February but he was along way out, so taking shots was a waist of time. Popped up there last week and he was right out in front of one of the hides, lucky days!

I also love the 3rd one. He's a rock star in that one.

It's fun to have one of those "first" moments. Congratulations.

Well done.

Shampoo sounds like an unfortunate name for a hair product.
You're a ghost driving a meat-coated skeleton made from stardust, riding a rock, hurtling through space. Fear Nothing!

Great set Alan, love the head plumage on these birds. Very nice exposure work on those whites.
