Happy New Year!

Welcome back OPBirder. I'm so glad you've been able to catch up with what's been going on and to enjoy Pete's and Denis' shots. It's so much better with others adding to the story of this beautiful little (or not so little) birds life.

Pete, fantastic shots of Big Hook. She really was saturated. I've just seen the shots from this afternoon. Wowee!! Well done on capturing Harmony taking a dunk.

This afternoon Big Hook and Dad were in different trees. Pete and I got ourselves into position to photograph Big Hook in particular, as she was only 30 feet away, although way above our heads. She carried on a bit when we scrambled and slid along the crumbling track, but settled quickly and we both managed to get some head and shoulder shots. She was too close to get entirely in the frame and there were branches in the way anyway.

Here's Big Hook watching as Pete sets himself up.
