Thanks Jeff
Who makes up these names
Pass on a little trick (I actually read here ). I have been using my Monopod (thanks Andy) with small ball head attached like a shoulder stock. It has really helped sharpness

Well, they are wonderful bird shots, just wonderfu. As far as showing them off, I prefer the ones on the rocks as the reflections of man made things bothers me a bit.

ginger

are they going to fill the pond back up?

Dee

Love that first one
Looks like the bird is ready to dive into the water... neat reflections too.

Ben,

I agree with Harry. Every one of these is a keeper. Good work
