Great set of images Keith. Well done with the Peregrine!...and good luck with the picture sorting!!...[;o)

Thanks Adrian. I was having a nightmare time trying to get anything in focus most of the day. Almost felt like giving up.

Thanks Bob. The trouble is I enjoy taking pictures most of the time, it's the sorting out later I hate.

Cheers Trevor. The Peregrine was the best of a poor bunch.

loved each one! the leaves against that bright blue are lovely. then the long-tailed is adorable! the peregrine is a wonderful sighting, but the 3 gulls in a row are too cute!

Bob Bushell said...

You took a picture of a Peregrine Falcon, wow, isn't he lovely. I think that all your pictures are fantastic.

Jenny Woolf said...

Super selection!

Roy said...

Wow! Peregrine, that is pretty special Keith.

Sondra said...

I see some very good focus there Keith! I'm bummed out right now but hope my mood will improve soon! THESE lovely birds will help!

Linda said...

Very nice, Keith. I especially liked the trio of gulls.

Wilma said...

A great eye you have for composition, Keith!

holdingmoments said...

Thanks Barbara. Glad you enjoyed them. :-)

Thanks Grace. Yea I find the processing and sorting so tedious. I've still got stuff going back to August to do yet. They'll probably never see the light of day now.

Thank you Theresa. That was a rare bit of blue sky we had. lol

Thank you Bob. The Peregrine was a lucky shot, but always worth trying.

Jenny, thank you, and thanks for stopping by.

Cheers Roy. There were two of them hunting that morning. A great sight.

Thank you Sondra. Let's hope the mood changes soon. :-)

Thank you Linda. The gulls were great posers. Probably because we were eating at the time lol

Thank you Wilma. It doesn't always work though lol

Captain Shagrat said...

Love the long tailed tit you got him good there. Tedious sorting out them pics but better than work eh;-)

holdingmoments said...

Cheers Debs. Anything's better than work lol

Petra said...

I love the gulls, Keith. I've seen many pictures presenting a row of similar objects, just one of them in focus, and this is a beautiful variation! :)

ShySongbird said...

Lovely to see the Long-tailed Tit, it seems ages since one stayed still long enough for me to get a photo. My favourite here though are the Black-headed Gulls, great photo.

holdingmoments said...

Thanks Petra. The gulls came out better than I thought.

Thanks Jan. Those gulls were everywhere. After our lunch I think.

John said...

Very nice Keith, like the Gull shot in particular!
