There is just something about these birds with their prehistoric heads that draw me in as a photographer. Hope you enjoy this one. Full frame.

Nice flight shot. The stork is flying into the sun, so you have great light where it counts. Very good sharpness and detail.

This is a great shot of a wood stork Geoff. Very difficult to get light in this species eyes and color in there dark wing feathers. Bird is sharp with a nice BG. Well done.

Good flight shot; nice work on the blacks and whites. Very nice detail in the head in the larger image.
