Hi there - when you change an image (Little egret), remember you have to change image caption too. I do love most of your images though... Charlesjsharp (talk) 15:39, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

Bird photographs[edit]
Thank you for uploading your beautiful bird photographs to Wikipedia. I was looking at the article on the Eurasian rock pipit and I was struck by the high quality of your photo taken on Heligoland. I've now looked at your uploads to Commons - I am impressed. They are an important contribution to the encyclopaedia. - Aa77zz (talk) 17:25, 17 October 2016 (UTC)
- Seconded and thankyou. If you find that the article is lacking enough text to accommodate the pictures, like White-throated hummingbird, Orange-fronted yellow finch or Saw-billed hermit, I am more than happy if you alert someone and one of us might begin expanding the article.Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 20:41, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

The crested caracara (Caracara plancus), also known as the Mexican eagle, is a bird of prey in the family Falconidae. It is found throughout Central and South America, with a maximum range extending north to Minnesota and south to Tierra del Fuego. A bold, opportunistic raptor, it is often seen walking around on the ground looking for food. It mainly feeds on the carcasses of dead animals, but steals food from other raptors, raids bird and reptile nests, and takes live prey if the possibility arises. This adult crested caracara was photographed in the Serra da Canastra National Park, Brazil. Photograph credit: Andreas Trepte
