    Hi Patsy,
    No Eagle in the wild yet. Only captive.:( I do have a small collection of hawk photos, though!:)

    Here's a photo of a Heermann's Gull I hope you'll enjoy. The lovely color in the background was provided by Ice Plant. I enjoy photos with this type of "bokeh" background.

    What a regale profile, Tony! You're right, when we look over our shoulder, life can appear as a blur!;)

    Holly. Get yourself out to the Lea Valley park. Just beyond Chingford. You will see some amazing birds there. That's where I took my cormorant picture, posted elsewhere.

    Tony, I have but one comment about your exhibition:

    WHAT CAMERA DID YOU USE? I've never seen any photos sharper then yours!

    Hello,

    I haven't posted in quite a while. Hope you'll enjoy these! All wild, hand-held, no cropping.

    Hi Hal,

    All were taken with either my Canon SX40, which I no longer own, along with my Canon SX50 and Sony DSC-RX10M3, which I currently own.

    Newly hatched ducklings, jumping 120 times their size - 60 feet , from next in tree to ground to then all together waddle out to the water to their mother and start right away eating plants or fish or tadpoles or whatever they eat.... all without hours of hatching....
    (first saw on National Georgraphic - now many different videos available on youtube, etc ...)
    (below might not be same video)
