Stunning Brendan. I love all birds but especially birds of prey, and he looks so majestic and in control. Great. PAUL

Two great captures Brendan. I love the detail in the first one and the wonderful contrast with the sky and had to laugh at your title for the brilliant second one. Excellent work as always buddy.

Dave.

Wow Ty, these are just spectacular! So Crisp and Clear. I love the Hawk and the Ibis are just as nice.
Thanks for sharing these
Michael.
