A mallard drake powering up the pond towards me as I left to go home. This was the last in-focus shot of the morning. I threw out over a hundred failed attempts at flight captures.

I reached 21 million views early today! Thank you very much to all those who have looked at my photos!

A little blue heron with its eye on dinner, or it could be checking itself out in natures version of a mirror.

This bird was shot in lighting conditions I hate, bright high noon sunshine.

Hunting Short-eared Owl

Reddish Egret, juvenile

You can not only tell by its eyes when something has a Coyotes attention but also by its ears.

Tilly April 2021

Le deuxième Petit duc à sortir de la cavité nous a donné beaucoup d'émotions. Il grimpait, retombait, regrimpait. Le voici prenant une petite pause tout en observant l'arbre sur lequel il devra faire un nouvel essai.

The second Eastern Screech Owl owlet to come out of the cavity gave us a lot of emotion to watch. It was climbing, then falling and reclimbing again. Here it is taking a little pause observing the tree on which to give it another try.

Concentration de volatiles sur un îlot de rocher dans la réserve à côté de chez moi !

Goélands, Cormorans, Tadornes casarca et Canards Pilets sont au rendez-vous !

A tri-colored heron looks intently into the mangrove waters for its next meal.

You can tell by the ripples in the water and the drop of water at the end of the beak that this heron had just unsuccessfully tried to spear something in the water.

C'est la première fois que j'assistais à ce genre de compétition et j'avoue que c'est très impressionnant. J'ai vraiment senti la puissance que le groupe propulse lors de chaque passage.

The date in the information is given as January 2021. That’s the date I Processed the shot!

Eastern Great Egret (Ardea modesta)

Sacred Kingfisher (Todiramphus sanctus)

After a little work on the background I decided I would post a second image of the Kingfisher seen in the Werribee RIver Park last Tuesday.

A very alert Grey Heron hunting on the river Coquet. This Heron was on the weir very close to the main road and wasn't cocerned at all by my presence.

Black-shouldered Kite (Elanus axillaris) juvenile

A look back to this day in 2020. The three chicks were just out of the nest, this one had ventured further then the other two and was concentrating on getting its balance on this branch.
