Nice series of shots mate. The Black Brow with the chick is a cracker.

I enjoyed the bird pics very much.
That little Cobb's Wren is unique.

These are beautiful - a whole other world, yet we know that the life of these birds and the rest of the web of life is connected to our lives. Cut away enough of that web and suddenly we enter free fall....
