Excellent photos Phil, and Happy New Year!
Thanks very much Gareth and best to you in 2014!
A wonderful group of pictures for 2014. You’ve had so many terrific shots over the year, it must have been difficult to pick out the ones you did. You should make up a calendar and sell it in the store at Huntington, I’m sure many people would love to have one with your pictures.
Thanks a million for your kind comments and I’m very happy you enjoy the photos!
Hope you have a great 2014!

A real master class is all that can be said – brilliant consistency the whole year through.
Hey thanks a million Scott, I really appreciate that very much!
Cant decide between May and June tbh – brilliant – I hoping to spend some time later in the year capturing terns (when I get my small boat or bigger lens or both – ha ha
Oh those terns make my head spin Scott, they are a real chore to follow and try to get halfway decent flight shots of them. There have been days when I won’t even try, I’ll just let ’em be. 🙂
The anhinga is my all time favorite bird action to watch and photograph. They never fail to amaze!
I came here from Lisa’s blog. Don’t know why, but I’m glad I did. I got this far reading backwards and realized that I have a year’s worth of beautiful images to catch up! This is phenomenally good photography! I am thoroughly delighted to have found your images, Phil! 🙂
Hey thanks so much for stopping by and I truly appreciate your very kind words George!
Great to see you here and glad you like the photos!
