All amazing photos here Carole! The Red-capped Robin is my favourite, because I've always wanted to see one and that's a great view! But I also know how hard it is to snap Red-browed Finches, so well done there too!
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you for showing me the sense of community involved with blogging, this whole endeavour has been one of my 2013 highlights. I look forward to sharing your adventures and sightings with you in 2014!
Carole each one of these is just beautiful, and all so sdiverse. I think that littel fairy wren is so sweet, and then there is the willie wagtail, and also love your shot of the white faced grey heron. Each one of these is so artful and know that you have had loads of fun intaking them. gorgeous! I am also hoping that your Christmas will be just perfect..... bet you would even wish for a little bit of snow for maybe 2 hours. hugs from Texas!
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic, Carole! It's like a "best of"! Gorgeous photos! I was gone for a few days, but I want to wish you a very Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas from the Netherlands Carole! ;-)
