It does look like a gossip group, Peter, particularly in the first two images. Well seen. I like these a lot. The only thing I might do is trim off the shoreline at the very top, as for me it doesn’t add anything and is a bit of a distraction.

Great idea here, Peter. Gossip away. Nicely seen.

Peter, a really nice catch ! Mating season is coming everywhere, and that gives us great chances at interaction images. Fine deatl, poses, and good handling of the whites. Cutting off the shoreline works well.

Hi Dennis, David & Sandy
Thank you the comments, here the repost, with the shoreline removed.
I wanted to keep a good value of headroom.

The headroom still looks adequate, Peter, but I understand your reasoning.

Another fine series Peter. These do give the impression that the birds are collaborating on something. I prefer the reposts - crop looks good.
