Hi Werner! This image is so much fun and yet so beautiful at the same time. I love this. Your beautiful image has been featured by Wild Birds Of The World. L/F
Werner Padarin replied:
Yes, it does look a fun kindergarden - as though the bird furthest to the right is looking on with amazed realisation that his wings were for spreading ... many thanks for the feature, it's a beaut honour, William!
Kathy McClure
What a fun image.
Werner Padarin replied:
Thankyou Kathy - it does look a bit comical, but it's deadly serious - their very first flight will be around 2600 kilometers non-stop!
Marcia Lee Jones
Lovely image and timing!
Werner Padarin replied:
Thank you Marcia, glad you like it - the timing is all about being at the breeding colony when they're about to head off overseas ...
