Nice shots. These are quite colourful birds. #3 is my favourite.

Tasty! Nice shots. My fav of the first three is 1, the reflections are throwing me off in 2 and 3.

Very cool shots #4 and #6 I love.

Beautiful set, I especially like the last one with a little action in it :thumbup:

The next one of these I see will be my first, seriously jealous :greenpbl:

Thanks. I also like #4 due to the green grass reflection off the water.

Thanks. #6 is cool. The guy was taking a shower. It was little far away, I cropped quite a bit. I only had 300mm at the time and did not attach the 2X TC.
