Wow superb set Mastah Romy. It's the same birds but looks entirely different, by far the best images of the White-fronted Geese I've seen. The sunset with the silhouettes of the birds is very dramatic and so beautiful. Pogito has grown a lot and is quite a handsome young man. |

Wonderful shots of the geese, Romy. It nice to see that they are still 13. The portrait of the barred rail is just incredible! Pogito looks like ready to fill somebody's shoes soon!

Whoaaa! Best White-fronted Geese shot of Candaba!
The rest of the shots are just, well, Oconific!
How come all those other birds seemed to be hiding when I was there? ;D
