thanks for all the comments
The last shot is of a Little Kingfisher its worlds smallest kingfisher
and quite elusive and not a lot of good photos of them. This was taken on one of my regular trips to Daintree FNQ were I spent several days
chasing them.

Lovely set. The Welcome Swallow is a real cutie. Excellent quality on the images, are they crops or full frame?

Thanks, They are slightly cropped but all have been printed
in A3 and could go larger without a problem.

Beautiful Mark, The Nikkor 70-200 2.8 VR is a killer lens isn't it.. My old man has the 80-400 5.6 VR, its not shabby either, but the 70-200 F/2.8 is insane..

Really love the pics.. great colour reproduction with really silky smooth backgrounds.. the 2nd and 3rd pics are my favorites.. they have a razor sharp quality to them.

Great shots here Mark. Wonderful compositions and detail.

I'm partial to the Kingfisher, but I'm somewhat Kingfisher obsessed.
