Just going through and re editing some old images. Found this one that i always like a bit but just never found the right way to present it. Untill now. This is why you never throw away images. Giant petrel on the Antarctic peninsula

American goldfinch, quite different from the European, which is more colourful.

Lovely shots, Durf. I especially like the first one.

Looks rather trippy that way.

Interesting day today in terms of birds and fish. A moorhen in the far distance was swimming back and forth with what something bright and which could have been a fish in its mouth. And it was. I had no idea they could would eat fish.

Then, a cormorant flew in and started fishing. It caught and downed a fish in less than a second, which I got in a quick burst.

And, some more conventional, a female Eurasian Kingfisher and a Nuthatch.

Beautiful light on the Kingfisher

The birds are back in my garden! For the past few days, there has been a dawn chorus. And this morning the blue and great tits have returned. Here is a great tit welcoming the sun at the top of a tall tree. This shot means a lot to me - the local bird photography now awaits.

Nice shot, Alan. Well done.
