Looking at your pic I can almost feel that weather. Not easy to shoot birds in, but the crop holds up and the bird looks really good.

I'm afraid many won't survive...

They will help the pike and bass survive.

These birds are so beautiful. They almost look as if they're not real but made up of marzipan. Lovely shot, Jason.

Nice colours in those images.

For some reason Mallards always cheer me up. Here the lady was chasing the guy and she was vocal too, although not in this shot. But it's the nicest of the short sequence because of the nice sky.

I've never posted this one before, thinking it wasn't very good. But looking at it today I'm thinking it looks kinda nice.

Not very good? It's excellent. And he's in the exact right spot, in that bright spot in the middle!

They were. I took this from my bedroom window on the 3d floor. They were almost on top of me!

Thanks very much, Fin. Appreciate that.
