The UK species takes off from the water almost vertically, hence the name.<br /><br />A ‘tick’ of birders perhaps? A ‘snap’ of photographers? <br /><br />Cheers - Stewart M - AustraliaStewart Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04622420206244603688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2475638899054945042.post-30106924740281658882012-01-23T01:38:08.234-05:002012-01-23T01:38:08.234-05:00As always, great pictures!As always, great pictures!Kah-Wai Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10832718320174872262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2475638899054945042.post-26316515673118254692012-01-20T10:09:11.796-05:002012-01-20T10:09:11.796-05:00LOL, Springman!

A clique to me brings to mind the blue rinse set in twinset and pearls looking down at the rest of humanity. How about a lumber of birders? It adds a n air of gravity as we lumber about weighed down by all our necessary or un- gear.<br /><br />In English it was always a parliament of crows, in Australian it is a mob, I can only suppose that a 'murder' is an American expression lifted from the prohibition era and St. Valentine's Day.<br /><br />Great photos as always, the young eagle is downright cute and the ring-billed gull so aptly named.<br /><br />Cheers . . .

I only know the collective noun for owls. As I'm not a twitcher (rather I'm a keen birder, lol!) I prefer the clique of birders. Oh yeah! Your photos are stunning. I keep scrolling back to look at them. Have a great day.
