As always nice shots mate
Thanks y'all!
very nice series Liam
Beautiful portrait and series.
Wonderful beak! Reminded me about the the fox and the bird's fabale as that beak does not seem suitable for any kind of food, but it is for the right one for the curlew; which I find marvellous. Lovely series Liam and beautiful bird =)
So beautiful Liam :)
Lovely series :)
