Congratulations Ben!

Following on from yesterday's individual here is a group hanging out on vegetation overhanging a side-channel off the oxbow lake.

In an ideal world I would have liked the background to be a little more even...

Again, on a tripod from a canoe.

That's a pretty impressive array of hairdo's Ben, all in all the birds take away any distraction from the background, well done mate.

Thanks to all. I have been away from the internet for a while, traveling, taking some pictures, and then back to work, so didn't have a chance to be on BPN for while. Seeing this was quite a surprise when I logged in again.

Thank you again for this honour!
