Two and five are outstanding. You must be well pleased.
Best wishes,

Customary high quality, Alan. I have a slight preference for #2 & #5, but all make me envious.

Lovely shots.
I've been enjoying watching some local barn owls (not got any shots near your standard) that have appeared this year where there were none before. I'm hoping these beauties are here to stay.

Just wonderful -- you lucky so and so!
Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

2 and 5 are the ones! They have great lighting on the subjects, and the best balance between subject lighting and background. I also like the one with the bird about to dive, and your clever framing to show where he's heading for..... even though the bird ends up too small, its a great idea.
