Thursday Bird #7 – Plush Crested Jay, Iguazu Falls, Argentina
I spotted this bird during our 2018 trip to the amazing waterfalls. It seemed to be saying, “What are you looking at?”
Thursday Bird #6 – Fine Spotted Woodpecker

Thursday Bird – Mother Stork, Riquewihr, France
I took this shot during our 2014 tour of France, this being on the Alsace Wine Route leg. The father stork was off searching for food for the youngster whilst the mother waited patiently. Proud Mother Stork
