And may I suggest you bring chocolate instead of raw fish as part of your courting ritual.....

Nice Pictures Joules.Joules said:Great pictures all around in this thread! Awesome birds lafuria and JuanMa! Also, those heron pictures are top nothc, kodakrome.
I wanted to get some pictures of larger birds and went through the local area to see what I might find. From the nearby forest I've got an acrobatic Great spotted woodpecker that just hopped around the leaves on some low hanging branches instead of pecking wood. From a borrow pit lake, I got what should be a Moorhen and some kind of white duck - Seeing it from a distance I thought it was an albino first. And then I alo finally managed to get a good picture of one of the Eurasian jays that visit the garden daily.
Edit: And they got huge again. Sorry, didn't mean to take up that much space
