John, I enjoyed both shots of the Roseate Spoonbill, and the Osprey attempting to capture a fish. Great work on all three.

Thank you, Mike!

Outstanding series of Barn Swallow captures, Sid! You've really figured out how to capture these little sky rockets!

You've got some pretty nimble reflexes!

Nice shots - hard to track these speedy little guys

Thanks very much folks, because they live here at home I get the opportunity to practise on them a lot. As the season progresses it becomes easier but next year when they arrive again I'll be back to square one through lack of practise :lol:

Very nice BIF shot Mike--the shadow gradation in the wing and tail feathers is very interesting.

Thank you very much, Rich. I appreciate your thoughtfulness.

Terrific!

Outstanding capture of this beautiful Red-breasted Parakeet in flight, RAL! I really like this wing spread flight pose.
