That is really a wonderful green heron shot, Paul.

Stellar shot, Graham.

Thanks gentlemen!

Australasian Darter (Anhinga novaehollandiae - not to be confused with American Darter - Anhinga anhinga) - about to have something to say.

Still have no idea why they are called snake birds;

Black Skimmer

Very impressive.
Striking bird.
Interesting beak, almost seems too large or out of place.
Nice photo.

A Nice photo Mike indeed.

A Very very rare bird to see here in the UK. In my 20 + years of bird watching I have only seens one about 300yds away, only got record shots.

A few days ago I went looking for hawfinches at Forest of Dean, none seen but equally pleased to of found many Crossbills. Two large flocks (13 & 25-30) moving through the tree canopy and occasionally coming down to drink from puddles. Beautiful birds with many different colour birds.

You really nailed the eye there, Sibil, despite the potential obstructions.

Both are very nice, sharp shots...my favorite being the second one.

Thank you very much for your kind compliment. We are fortunate out here to have them in great abundance; especially during the winter months.
