They are great photos. I love birds and listening to their calls. There was a previous poster called Desert Dweller who also took fabulous photos of birds and landscapes. Thanks for posting.
PS. Do you have any of whistling kites?
PPS. The Bell Miner is a dead ringer of my late mum's canary.

I do love to see them in flight.
Great pics Keith and Judy. ?
I certainly enjoy them.
My rough old mechanics hands have never been good with frail tools like cameras.
