Wow number 4 is nice.

I don't think we can find these beautiful birds in suburban Auckland :td:

[availablelight]

not true... i sit outside my kids' school every day & watch them flying around & perching on the fences. sometimes they land only a couple of feet away

number 6 for me is the best.... i just love reflections.
