    They are very vocal birds, and they call a lot in flight and perched too.

    Fabs:

    Nice angle in frame, sharpness on head ,exposure. Background is complimentary, establishes habitat, but still very nice separation of bird from BG.

    Cheers

    Great pose, I particularly like the open beak and might increase contrast and sharpen the wings a bit more.

    Great flight angle, and love the open beak Fabs. Sharp where it counts, and pops from the BG nicely. Well captured.
