Photos in this gallery have largely been taken in 2017, with some hold-overs from 2016. Unless indicated, all nature images have been taken in the "WILD" if one considers local ponds and parks where creatures are free to come and go as also belonging to the "WILD".

Thumbnails marked "SERIES" include two or more related images depicting; for instance, animal behaviour, actions and/or different views of the same subject.

VISITORS: Simply click on the "thumbnail" photos to display the specific, or desired gallery. Then, click on the "thumbnail" images to display additional galleries or enlarged photos. Click on "next" or "previous" to scroll through the images or return to the main page by clicking "All Galleries" at the top of the screen. Alternatively, you can view images by clicking on "slide show" at the top right hand of each gallery. In some instances, I've tried to show bird behaviour by posting consecutive shots or a SERIES on one page. Simply scroll to the bottom of those pages. Note: For slide show viewing only the first image of a series will be shown.

Comments and suggestions are invited for individual photographs and/or galleries and will be appreciated. Guests (non Pbasers) are also encouraged to leave comments. Please indicate who you are by including your name or initials.
