Wood Storks

An older shot of some local wood storks. they have an ugly face but they make up for it (well, almost) with their beautiful feathers.

I entered a picture (some of you may remember it) awhile back in the BBC Wildlife magazine and although I didn't win, I did get a runner up position which was I was pretty happy about. It's in Julys edition under "Beach Bully." Just thought I would share the joy.

Hey congrats. The entries to the BBC comps are usually enormous so a double well done. Like the storks. A bit grislier than their European relatives.

thank you, John! I didn't know anything about the BBC magazine other than the fact it's been around forever. I did assume there would be a lot of entries and I still don't know how many there were but probably much more than dpreviews which is usually around 50 entries max.
