Safe "head"-landing!

Now, that is a rare capture! Good timing! Well done!

What I find completely awesome in your shots is that you always manage to capture them in two's or groups! That interaction between the individuals adds even more life to your photos.

@MadScientist: Thank you! I agree with you - single bird photo's you see a lot, so it is nice to capture 2 or more.
PREVIEW ONLY
