Last June I watched the first day of the Red Bull Cliff Diving Competition in Boston. The men dove from a 27M platform and the women from 21M. It was thrilling and terrifying watching them go into the harbor past the glass and steel high rises in the city. Here are two of the very many images I am finally getting around to.

Hi Hali,

Cheers - much appreciated!

It's always a joy at this time of year - an enjoyable walk with a fine purpose.

(The symbiotic relationship of photographers and birds in winter - of course, come summer they won't want to know us... ).

P&K

It’s not fair, they say thanks for the food now but come spring it’s “begone I’ve got berries and worms to find and I don’t want you peeking at my little ones!” When that is exactly what we want to do!

Hi Hali,

Crikey. Amazing images of breath-taking feats of bravery and talent (hopefully involving happy landings) - beautifully captured and perfectly presented.

(Karen would absolutely love to have a go at this activity, but if I hit the water from 27 metres up, tsunami warnings would soon follow... ).

This is the picture I'm picking for January 2025. From a recent event.

A lovely set of images, just something about Robins that fill me with much cheer, they are super little birds, often feisty not afraid to punch above their weight.
