I love the lighting on this overall shot, Rob! It sets off the snowy owl so beautifully! Great work.

If this shot is any indication of how great your photography will be in 2022, then you haven't a single thing to worry about, Rob.

Verdin...

Lovely little bird Tom, on your signature perch.
Very nicely isolated from its surrounds without being completely separate from them

Just a Gull but I did like the pose!

Well it may well be Just a gull , but it's character adds to the beauty.
Very well done.

This too is beautifully presented.
A striking bird in a lovely setting

James that's very nice indeed,
And timely for much of what's happening about us.
You did very well to get that low down at its level.

Very cute shot of the two youngsters on this lichen covered fence board, Richard! Nice photographed! Both little guys are quite sharp.

Thanks Mike for your kind comments.
They looked so lovely sitting there gazing all around in such youthful innocence

thanks Pippan
as much as I love the vivid colours of the male, there's something about the females that keep drawing me to them, perhaps more than the males.

typical pose of an Aussie icon - Laughing Kookaburra
taken a couple of months back when everything was wet and the ground sodden.
They would sit like this and dive for worms getting very dirty as shown here
