They are all nice, but I particularly like #3. Details and exposure are just perfect.

Very nice, Ian. The kingfisher looks like a young one somehow. I love the lichen on the downy perch.

Thanks Al, you could be right on the Kingfisher, maybe that's why she didn't fly off immediately. And there were more in the area. That lichen is nice but won't be there long, many kinds of birds seem to like pecking at it.

Absolutely fantastic set! Both birds are among my favorites. I am waiting for an opportunity to photograph king fishers.
