Ha Pieter,

Always nice, storks. They look so artificial with the red, white and black.
Next time a litle bit more photo above the head?
Mooie prent!

Hi Pieter!

I turned on tv [our tvn7 is transmiting these concerts] and I saw jumping raper, yo-yo! Erm...am I too old for this kind of music ;-) ? No! I like Ice-T or Run D.M.C. ;-) Anyway - great idea.
White storks, genuine Polish birds ;-) Family life ;-)

Hi Pieter,
Nice shot again. The birds are pin sharp, like it use to be. The colors are bright and the compo is also OK. I know the area in Lelystad, but never saw these storks in the way you caught them. I have to go ofter to that place.

Yes, it was a special day. Great concerts, great music [mostly ;-)] and great people.
As for the photo: it is great ;-)
Storks often visit Africa so the photo is very proper.
I like it very much.
WELL DONE!

Good photo, Pieter, nice and sharp as usual.
Would have liked to have seen it from a higher POV, but that was impossible, I expect!

Great capture Pieter. Very natural colours, perfect dof/sharpness, and a nice composition. I really like the pose of the standing White Storck and they are really wonderful birds - so majestic to look at. Well done.
