There are about 500 species in Australia with about half of them yet undescribed.
I found these very hard to photograph because of their shiny shell, lots of reflections. In my Australian Woolly Bush!

Macro Mondays weekly theme--you can choose to photograph The Beatles or a beetle insect
so whilst I was getting comfortable with my new found friend a little bird (mavropouli ) came along and joined in the conversation. The stag was so much happier with our company. By this stage the sun came up and as I got closer I didn't need the full 300 zoom.
As always, thank you so much for stopping by and for leaving any comments or faves, they are very much appreciated.
We finally got two days of milder temperatures. First it snowed then freezing rain. The temperature dropped drastically over night and now everything is covered in ice. Didn't seem to bother this little Downy Woodpecker. Can't wait for Spring!
I would like to thank all of you that have taken the time to view and comment on my photos, it is very much appreciated.
Tina and the Puglets xo
Somehow I managed to get between the male and female coyotes in the cold weather. -2 degress, no wind and sunny. She went back into the woods and I hung out for about 15 minutes. I could see both the male and female pacing on either side of me just inside the tree line. Finally the female decided to catch up to the male and I got my photo op.
