Going, going,……
Four fat ibis walking up a branch…

A lot of pressure on number one to keep on going

Oops gone.

Not too far, just flew away.

Spring and summer was a wonderful time with so many birds nesting along the creek. Here are two that have had their young ones and left the nests.

Up close it doesn’t seem all that soft and comfortable.

Today is the first day of Autumn in Australia. Where I live it is still quite warm. These roses were blooming beautifully during the summer.

almost blown off their perch by the wind. The feathers were flying wildly. They did well to stay balanced on the log.

When the wind dropped I could see that they were actually ducks.


I suspect these two on the waterlily are young corellas.





I think this is a white necked heron.



I went to this spot a few kilometres from my house, looking for a duck or two to photograph. I’d found them there before. But on this particular day the ducks were nowhere to be found. Instead some cows were having a bath!
Are you looking at me??

Where’s the soap?

I’m staying dry


Cormorant… We went for a drive looking for birdlife. I found this one showing a bit of tail feather, in the lagoon out front.

He was posing quite proudly for me.


It looked like a leaf, a large leaf. When we shifted it onto the flower, we noticed the amazing colour underneath. I guess it’s a stick insect of some kind. I wish I had taken more pictures of it now.




These little guys have just popped out of their eggs. One is a guinea fowl the rest are chicken.
