Great behavior and to see the two morphs together. Wish for more room for feet and tail.

It's like team work - i too wish just the tail was visible. However maybe adjusting the curve to make the white pop more

you lucked out. I didn't see the white morph there last week. Hopefully he'll return soon.

Great job on exposure. Tail doesn’t bother me much, but I would love to see a bit more of a second bird eye.

A great behavioral capture. Why did you not zoom out to capture the whole birds?

Beautiful image. The interaction between the two different birds is very unique. I like it.
