This is a new 'sticky' thread to post General Nature Photos

O.K. I will start us off, here is a Whanganui resident.

And, not a great shot, but who wants to get too close?

All the best.
Mike

Wow, some great shots in this thread. Col, the osprey shots are sublime, and I love the composition of the grebe. lochinloch, excellent series of pics and well done for calling him in so close! Dave, you have some cool visitors to your garden, again lovely pictures.

The subjects in mine aren't quite as exotic as some seen here so far,







And for a change, a bit of a B+W shot.
