This image was taken at the Venice Rookery in February. Lot of GBH's on this site but can't recall seeing mom and chick recently.

Intimate image of a cool scene - the youngster looks a bit out of it!

My, my, they grow up so fast don't they! As in my hawk photo I think that nests often provide a natural compositional element to "contain" the subjects. I like the way the mother is also encircling her young with its body. Well done Bob.

Good composition and a fine family picture. The eyes of both birds are sharp and that is a real plus.

Nice one, Bob. I like the composition. Nice to be able to get this angle. I don't know of any of the rookeries in our area that have such a nice vantage point. I do find myself wishing there was some evidence of them acknowledging one another's existences.

Interesting image Bob. The baby even though still very small has developed a large beak.
