Nice one!

Two fine shots!

Great image of the Egret!

Beautiful shot of the Eagle!

Nice flight shot of the Heron!

That's quite the nest in the first shot. Beautiful colors in the second.

Excellent captures of the Gulls!

It worked nicely. Great back lit capture!

Many thanks Sogs.

Man, I really like the way you composed this shot, Mike! The blurred green/yellow smartly sets off the Robin and simultaneously gives an overall ethereal feel to the image.

What a thoughtful, encouraging, compliment, Steve. I truly thank you for the kudos.

Little Wattlebird on a very large Kangaroo Apple (latter is native to Tasmania and parts of southeast Australia)

Lovely shot, Richard! The Little Wattlebird is tack sharp, and the abundance of the yellow Kangaroo Apples really adds to the overall appeal of this image.

Many thanks Mike.
They sure are determined and surprisingly strong critters.

Wow...they certainly do appear to be strong critters, Paul. This image certainly emphasizes that fact. Definitely and outstanding capture!

Two exemplary shots of the White-bellied_sea_eagle, RAL! I'm especially fond of your second image.

Mike that's beautiful. Lovely simple photo, intriguing stance.
The Robin is centre stage and very nicely presented.
