Soaring Overhead
May 20, 2021
It was a very cold and blustery day. I went off driving and spent some time at Kow Swamp, photographing pelicans. While I was there, shivering, I noticed this bird circling overhead. It was a dull day and I was disappointed in the colours, but I haven’t caught many photos of raptors in flight.

Thiis bird has stayed around since birth. Meet his family here. Lots of his family have disappeared, but he keeps sitting out front. posing for photographs. I’ve caught him in many new unusual poses. look at his amazing feather patterns.
Asparagus in Autumn
May 16, 2021
I can’t wait for the spring rains that bring up wonderful asparagus spears for the family to enjoy. We are lucky because , for whatever reason, it grows wild along the track that is our road, and we have some secret spots that we carefully tend over winter.
Right now you can see the tell tale red seed /berries that reveal the location of asparagus ferns. They’re rather beautiful just as ferns. You can see other images of the asparagus plants here.
Can’t wait for springtime.
You know it’s Autumn when

More shots of the Spoonbills
May 13, 2021
Yesterday’s post had pics of two odd spoonbills. I took lots of pics so here are some more. I’m pleased with my shot of the two of them in flight. I watched a video on photography that said a ‘good’ shot should have them separated, but I like this one, even if it breaks this rule.
This one was taking off.
I also like this shot from behind that show off his bill.
Two Mismatched Spoonbills
May 12, 2021
Today, after taking the gran’kid to school we drove the long way home and passed these two spoonbills.
I had time to take lots of photos, but this one was my favorite. I’m not sure why their bills are different colours. I thought that meant they were two different species. The one with the black bills are Royal Spoonbills. The paler bill is the Yellow-billed Spoonbill. Maybe I’m wrong. Help me out here….
