ReplyDelete"not-too-bad" photographs?!! They are excellent. Although birds don't have facial expressions, it's fascinating how much one can see in their eyes.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Not quite National Geographic standard, but not bad bearing in mind the limits of our equipment - and talent!
ReplyDeleteBeing a bird watcher I love these shots, but birds of prey, my favorite!
ReplyDeleteThis are the relatives of the dinosaurs... Wonderful photos Brian.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Geno and Eudora.

ReplyDeleteGreat pun! Wish I'd thought of that! ("You will, Oscar, you will!")
ReplyDeleteThanks for the compliment - half of which belongs to Mr W! :)
