Posting pictures of subjects excreting bodily substances in such a manner has got to be against forum rules. :)

Hi sury,

Is it a Turkey Vulture (Cathartes aura)?

Like the second one the most. Beautiful animal!

Mark,
Thank you. I leave it to experts (like you) to classify. My (limited) knowledge said it was
a bird of prey. :lol:

Oh no no no! Expert is WAY too much recognition for my simple deduction skills. Google is my friend too ;-) And "bird of prey" is a good start! I actually thought it was a condor at first :-)

Wow - a stunning set, Mark. You obviously have the same sunny morning we have here :)

I really like the colours in the water in #3, it makes a great picture. The tern shot is also lovely against the blue sky. Congrats on the cuckoo! I heard one while out this morning but I didn't even see it let alone get it in camera! I spent a very happy morning crawling around in the frosty and wet grass with the early orchids. My post processing will take a bit longer - man, you're fast! :)
