This bird is a bit of a recluse.....kinda hard to get close to.

#2 AND 3 LOOK LIKE PAINTINGS for some reason! Excellent flight shots and the first shot is quite nice.

#2 is really nice! Good details in the wings, and I like the overlapping feet.

Brilliant shots for sure. Especially the flight shots. I don't know if I've ever seen a flight shot of this elusive and wonderful bird. Fantastic detail, look at those feet!
