  1. Love the way how you sequence the photos. During this post I was taken high in the sky and zoomed in the microcosm of reliefs. Majestical portraits + twittering group photos of birds. Loved this post.

    • Thank you – I really enjoy creating a sequence that conveys the feeling of the day. This was certainly a day of looking in all directions!

  2. Reblogged this on per mare… and commented:

  3. Hi Quintin, Somehow I lost touch with your blog and I am thrilled to find you again. Your images in this post are exquisite. The murmuration is astounding and your landscapes are gorgeous.

    You captured the atmosphere so well – the photographs brought me right back to Aber. It’s been too long.
    Amazing shots of the red kite(s) … and the starlings!

    • Its something special when the wildlife becomes an integral part of the memory of place like the Kites at Aber. Visit again soon!

Whether you have comments on the photos, some knowledge or a personal story on this area you’d like to share, or you’ve spotted a typo or error, I’d love to hear your thoughts.
