Thumbs up Asperations.
These are great shots. I looked at the original of the first duck on flicker and was truly amazed at the clarity of the shot. Great work, thanks for sharing.

Great set, Michele. I love the two of kookaburra the most, especially the second one. He looks like quite a character. I remember singing "Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree" many decades ago as a Girl Scout, but I think this is the first time I've seen a photo of him! Thanks!

Michele~ I like the second one. I've never seen that bird before. I love the shadow of the last one!

It's no 2 and no 4 for me too Michelle. That shadow capture in 4 is the sort of thing to rave about, esp when you get back home and upload it. I love the pose of the Kookaburra in 2. Wonderful captures all. PAUL

Great captures, all. The kookaburra is awsome, I love the detail. The capture of the ducks flying is excellent and I positively love the shadow in your last.

Thankyou Helen, I didn't realize "old man Kookaburra" was a world wide song.

How did you know Paul? I didn't realize I had that great shadow until I got home, and Kookaburras, they are all posers.
