Hi, Christina. Thanks for your reply. Cheers,

Hi, Binnur. Thanks for viewing and commenting. The Jabiry is one of the most incredible birds I've ever seen! Cheers,

Hello, Dan. I appreciate your comments. Yes, that bird is incredible. A pitty it is so hard to expose as it is half completely white and half completely black. Post processing quite required here. :)

I think my fav. is #2, the Caracara launching itself.

Even your 'much cropped' #15, the Hyacinth macaws, isn't as bad as some of my shots of the local ring-necked parakeets, which also tend to fly fast, high and perch in the tallest of trees. (30m +)

Well done,

Hi, Dave. Thanks for your feedback. I really loved having the opportunity of shooting thoese macaws. Quite amazing (and noisy) couple of birds. :)

Cheers,
