Andy,
These came out really well :thumb:thumb I'm sure Harry is gonna love em :bad

I really like the way the bird wings line up in the first shot. They could almost be the same bird :clap


I hope we get some decent weather tomorrow :dunno See ya then :D

Andy, Andy, Andy. Its a black-crowned night heron not a black-shouldered night heron. Amateurs.

Good shot but those night heron shots are getting a bit over done. Couldn't you have found a nice egret? Also you only get credit for a double BIF if both birds are in focus. Hate to be so strict but rules are rules. :rofl
