I took about 30 shots of these birds, but this will be the third and last for the Gallery.

Happy New Year all! We can but hope.

I like how you have just caught the eye on the male. A brilliant well captured close up shot, well done. All the best for the new year John.

superb action photo, John, judging from his eye he seems quite concentrated on what he's doing, a real topper, many tfs!!
I wish you also all the best for 2021, keep safe in these difficult times, hopefully things will get better in a few months, JJ

Thank you JJ. The times are indeed difficult, and speaking personally, as one European to another, more difficult than they needed to be :(.
