We do not usually see two Red-shouldered Hawks perched together on the same snag at Viera Wetlands. It was capturing images of the two when one of them took off. I continued working with the single Hawk when the second one returned. Caught a nice sequence of mating and I think this is a good...
Mom had been out fishing while the old man was sitting on the nest. She landed on their favorite branch and preened herself for a while. There was a vocal exchange and dad flew down from the nest to get his reward for minding the nest.
Sitting outside having a coffee and was watching a starling on the fence singing and displaying, when along came its mate, so I pressed the shutter release
(reposting the sequence as they had to be removed as I'd made a mistake uploading them, so apologies if you've seen them already)
mansaged to grab this shot of Mr Robin offering a meal worm to Mrs Robin. They would choose a pretty grotty day to do it, but that's wildlife as they say
Watched a cormorant flying with a piece of weed and landed on a jetty and started this dance, managed to capture a shot just between the posts as the boat moved on, never noticed the blue colouring around the beak before
3 of 3 photos from a 10-photo sequence - a blue wing teal drake mounts a hen, and forces her deep under water - i suppose the bouyancy is quite effective... ;-)

Managed to grap this shot of a GF giving it's mate (I presume) a sunflower seed probably as part of it's mating activities! Sorry about the quality, but it was taken through the window as it's much too cold to sit outside!

My two Robins are at it again so perhaps this means there is yet another brood on the way!Now I'll have to spend another fortune on meal worms! Boy did I have to move fast to get this shot!
