Such an awesome shot, Graham! The colors and sharpness are outstanding!

Superb shot of this guy, Richard. His colors are dazzling. I also like the bird's pose in this shot. Nicely photographed.

Crack'in shot, fotoi! This one really pops!

Beautiful shots of this Steller's jay! The snow really adds to the appeal of these two photos.

Outstanding capture, Steve! Everything about it is really nice!

Wonderful two shot series, Paul. I truly enjoy viewing them. The second shot is so awesome!

Marvelous shot, Sid!

Very nice hen mallard close-up, fotoi!

Beautiful, shotraction! I like the cool background with the other approaching bird in flight. Your timing was spot on.

Definitely an outstanding, humorous shot, Steve! The sharpness in this image is excellent!

What a striking, lifelike, 3D shot, Paul! Wonderful photography here!

Thank you for the kind and thoughtful comments Mike, much appreciated.
Happy trails.

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today ...

Still waiting for the wisdom they promised would be worth getting old for.

Well... this is my 1000th post! I went out with my camera this morning with the sole intention of finding a great picture to post for my 1000th post! Not very successfully unfortunately but I did manage to find this Blur Tit!

Up until March this year the only flying things I had photographed were aeroplanes! With the arrival of Lockdown here in the UK this website and all the stunning pictures posted here in the Birds Forum have completely transformed how and why I take photographs... and saved my sanity! So... thank you to all of you who post here and especially thank you to all who take the time to like and comment on the pictures. I, for one, really appreciate it!
