Monday the ‘pies raucously returned to the upper pond well in fine feathery form…

    Nice variety of weather and your avian photos are exemplary! But my favorite is the last landscape shot with amazing light/shadows on the far mountains, gorgeous!

    yes, I love that final landscape too- so evocative of the peace and tranquility of your little pair-a-dice.
    Also I was amazed at the colour on the magpies. I never knew they were so gorgeous! Owls another fav too. nicely done.
