    Another milestone for me, a little slower than Alfred and SuperAxel, but trying :eek:

    I want to thank my partners, moderators and members for making this such a special place.
    To celebrate, I chose one of my favorite images of all times, the first time I saw Swallow-tailed Kites, done at ENP;s Anhinga Trail among friends, 3 years ago, and I have not been able to get a better one, so this is my pride and joy.

    Comments appreciated :)

    Congrats Fabs - noticed your 5000 tick over- most appropriate that it was on one on Al's posted images. Your contributions are brilliant as is this image. Keep up the great work.

    This could not be more beautiful Fab. Love the flight pose in this capture with the slight turning pose and outstanding eye contact. A real beauty and the best swallowtail image I have seen to date.

    "Holy smokes" as they say Fabs- 5000! Very well done. If I could just say that your contribution to BPN is more than just a number. Your contributions are insightful and educational. The 5000 means you've made many of them! Where will be be in 5 years?!
