Great stuff, tack sharp. I Like # 4 the best, the take off...

Great set. I like #4 as well. (Matt and I seem to be in sync tonite)

Lovely set, # 3 is my fav! So nice to see them in the wild.

[Hillbillygirl]

All are so lovely to see, as we never see this in the wild. Thank you so much for sharing.

Thank you everyone


All are so lovely to see, as we never see this in the wild.

We don't have to look too hard to find these in the wild. They are attractive birds, but get a few of them together and they can get pretty noisy.

A fine set. There must be some nice glass involved in these.

Thanks Barefoot


A fine set. There must be some nice glass involved in these.

Canon 100-400 zoom. As a lot of my photos are of sports, particularly my son's football (Australian Rules), I weakened earlier this year when I saw this lens on special. It is a fun lens.

Love that first pic. Its a great composition.

I have these things all around my place. I love to hate them because they are such a beautiful bird, but they can do so much damage and are very noisy in large flocks...especially at 5am in summer.
