Best shot of that last one with its wings open - this one wasn't into sitting still.

Gorgeous pictures! The eagle is particularly spectacular.

Ooooh, gorgeous! ♥

Oh my gosh! I'm utterly besotted with your pale green and yellow butterfly! It's so subtly beautiful! And the delicate fairy-flower plants seem to suit it perfectly. This is a lovely collection of photos.

Bald eagle! What a Chad.

What's the second bird? Is it some sort of scoter?

Thank you!
That is an eagle that is somewhat annoyed it felt like it needed to move. I say felt like because there is no way I was a) getting all that close to something with a beak and talons like that or b) going to hop out on those dubious pilings.

Thank you!

Thank you!
The green and yellow butterfly would not settle for more than a second, so I think I'm lucky to get even those slightly blurry shots. I'll probably try again tomorrow or Saturday. (Fingers crossed there will be more...)

It's a cormorant. There were a couple of them hanging out.

You photos are very impressive, especially so close-up, whether you're physically close or telephotoing in. Good luck for more static flutterby activity and lekker photos!
