Yawn
I’ve worked hard all weekend and am very weary. Is this creature yawning? I am.

…for a Spoonbill.
I caught him as he was flying off.

This little visitor was digging around in the mud out in front of my place.

Suddenly there are more pelicans on the waterways around the farm. Form only one or two, there are now lots.


My husband chuckles his way through the animated movie, Madagascar, even when he has seen it before. For some reason this pic reminds me of one of the cheeky little characters in the movie.


I found some swans in a little channel that abounds the farm. I watched them for ages while they posed. I was pleased to photo them in more unusual poses, rather than floating serenely by. Here’s one, standing on one leg, all fluffed up from the back and with a bendy neck.




These birds tease me endlessly. I know that at least one hangs out very close to the house, by the water. Yet, I’ve found it very difficult to photograph one. By the time I run back in the house for the camera, he moves on. This time I think I found his secret haunt, a little further along. And not only that there are a pair of them. They were so besotted with each other they haven’t noticed me. They did up and take off when a great clumsy duck flew in and invaded their space. I did get a few pics but I would like to get closer yet. I’ll keep trying.






I took quite a few photos of this bird, a Whistling Kite. He was showing me many different poses. Here are just some.
