Two Caspian from different locations. Both alone and close to 55cm long!
Yay first off the blocks. That's one helluva beak Prince Caspian has there! I bet it looks like a little fishing lure under the water!
I'm a bit slow this morning and most have already gone to bed on the other side of the world Baino ;) You're right! We need a Prince with us when fishing! Heehee
They've got very cold noses. Have they got a cold?
They fly here for Winter because it's warmer than Tasmania, so I'm sure their beaks aren't red from blowing in a hanky BoiledEggInADeckchair! Not yet anyway because it's still Autumn ;)
Das ist einer kloppenheimer. Achtung!! Ya.
The beak looks like like a lobster claw.
Correct, the Prince is wearing the correct head AlbrechtVonKrappa!
You sound like like nervous about that Ces!
I would fly here from Tasmania too at this time of year. Brrrrrr. Not that I'd be hanging out at the beach. Although there was enough sun to go for a walk around our local river system. Mr Spoonbill says, 'Hi'.
PS. Yeah, we can't get broadband on our block; I've been trying to get wireless but the girl has been put in charge of that... I'm sure it will happen some time this decade ;)
I went for a walk around our river system in the freezing cold wind G3TFilms! Very unsuccessful photographic expedition, not even a Spoonbill! Blah.
Blah! Blah!! Blah!!!
What a beauty! And very serious ... he's looking at the camera as if to say, "You won't get ME to smile, Anon, so quit trying!" :D
Anon -- do you sell prints? I just love those kestrel shots!
That's just a gull in disguise...
No I am not nervous. The bird should be because I like to eat lobsters.
Yes, what about photo printa of Anon preferrably.
If there are typos here it's because I can't find any of my glasses again so I am typing about three feet aqay from the keyboatd.
Hhahaa, they are serious birds Melissa! Besides, if he slightly smiled (like in the second one), he might accidently catch a fly. This is Australia! Heehee. I promise to get better Caspian Tern shots, deserving for print form, when more fly in for Winter ;)
SCAT CAT Mademoiselle Princesse!
Please don't think of lobsters when looking at my Caspians, Ces! I'm sure you'll be turned off by the feathers once finding your glasses! There is a fine image of Anon on my profile page to download and print :)
Oh yes... very posh. This one has a yacht and one of his ancestors was related to Tony Curtis. I kid you not!
I love how you have managed to capture the Captain and the foam of the waves :-D
Prince Caspian is related to Tony Curtis the Lobster Man from Mars!?! Miladysa, including the foam was unavoidable due to the Captain not moving when on land ;)
Tsup*!* ... what happened to Prince Caspian, how's he going to hold a sword and fight the evil hordes*?*
Wardrobe department has a lot of work in front of them me thinks Tsup *!*
Tsup*!* Tsup*!* Bimbimbie! Ohhh errrr, that's fishy! The Prince must have lost his brawny muscles whilst on holidays sailing the high seas! Perhaps he needs a personal trainer or wardrobe might find some extra stuffing somewhere Heehee!!
