Two wonderful, sharp images, Sid! They certainly are gorgeous birds.

Thanks Mike, lovely birds indeed, not frequent visitors and a shame I couldn't get both in the same frame. cheers!

Very nice capture, Shalu! I'm sure he's sleepy because he has been out hunting all night. I would be too.

Stunning close-up, Bill! I surely hope you didn't poke him in the head with your lens.

You really hit the nail on the head with this shot, fotoi! Not only is the sharpness perfect, but the blue color in the water is nice.

Nice capture, Steve! I'm guessing they'll be starting a family come nesting time.

What a handsome looking bovine, Richard! The sharpness and detail are so nice that I actually tried to pet this one.

Thanks Mike for your encouraging words on both posts
(the bull was the handsome one of two with the girls )

Rob both are beautifully presented.
They certainly show the birds off in lovely natural settings.
Flickr certainly highlights the details obtained.

Nice capture, Phil! Just looking at the photo, I can see that it's a cold wintery like day.
