There ! Mai Po has always got some variety.
And this post has less "waffle" from me than usual.

ReplyDeleteThanks, Stu - always lots of BIF over Mai Po !
DeleteWonderful variety of images, John. I am sure that some of those unfamiliar gulls in juvenile plumage are going to give me fits when I visit Hong Kong!
ReplyDeleteWell, David, with difficult gulls I'll be little help - I find them a hard group.
DeleteI always look forward to your posts. Superb photos like always.
ReplyDeleteThanks, John !
DeleteBeautiful and amazing photos, John!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Linda !
DeleteSome excellent flights shots. I like Black Kites even though I often take them for granted. They are superb fliers really. They make it look all too easy.
ReplyDeleteRussell, I agree - I can be sarcastic about kites, but the skies would be duller without them !
