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.
Yesterday I posted some pics of the Darter. Here are a few more.
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.
I was taking photos of birds long before I started my blog. Today Facebook showed me a memory from a trip around Australia, on this day six years ago and I was stunned with the bird photos. I had forgotten all about them. Aren’t photos wonderful for bringing back so many memories?
This was a bower bird nest in the middle of nowhere. How amazing are they?
This bird was showing many different angles
A few days ago I posted up a picture of the palm tree in front of my house. Click to see. Now, look at who has found it.
Not just one, but a whole flock of them, and they can be very destructive.
I have to admit though they can be rather beautiful.
Mr Personality
I wanted to take photos of this little fella, but I think he spotted me and flew off. I think he’s a white faced heron.
His legs are long, but his wings are even more impressive.
A more unusual angle.
A while back I posted pics of a nest of baby birds. One is still a regular visitor here. Follow the links to see the baby Darters
More photos of the darters. When they were very young. and the rest of the family.
They certainly change over time.
There are magpies everywhere. This one lived by the beach, quite a long way from my home.
