Nice shots.

Nice shots. I wonder how close you got? I find that birds of this size seem very small even with my 300mm lens on a crop sensor camera.

+1 to all the above. Nice shots, good processing, and I especially like #2 in the first post, the angle gives it a more dynamic/less static look.

Good shots.

Sorry, I think I accidentally pushed the forum report button. You may need to go into hiding. I am too far away so they can't get at me. Although I am sure one of the administrators would jump at the chance of an all expenses paid trip to NZ to explain to me how bad I have been...

I think I might be carrying their bags.

Thanks for the comments Peter and Paul.
