oops - I see the one on the left is a female in second photo

Stupendous capture of the female Superb Fairy Wren, Richard! Tack sharp and very 3D looking.

Terrific series of these two boys copying one another's movements, Richard! I think I could watch them for hours and enjoy their antics.

Both the Turkey Vulture and the White Morph Egret are outstanding captures, Kirk!
