A long time photographer, I did a professional course back in the late '70s, and am now building up my business to (hopefully!) make me some income in retirement. I’d love to have done this earlier in my life and urge young photographers to go for it!
My equipment consists of full frame Canon DSLRs, plus medium format digital (Hasselblad).
I shoot mainly landscapes, with nature/wildlife running a close second, and I am interested in steam trains, historic buildings/structures,; domestic animals, sport including surfing.
After 32 years in and around our nation’s cold capital, Canberra, I now live on the beautiful (and sunny) Tweed / Gold Coast and can take photos on demand of the many stunning and unique locations here.

The Intermediate Egret, Median Egret,[2] or Yellow-billed Egret (Mesophoyx intermedia) is a medium-sized heron. It is a resident breeder from east Africa across tropical southern Asia to Australia. It often nests in colonies with other herons, usually on platforms of sticks in trees or shrubs. Two to five eggs are laid, the clutch size varying with region. This species, as its scientific name implies, is intermediate in size between the Great Egret and smaller white egrets like the Little Egret and Cattle Egret, though nearer to Little than Great. It is about 90 cm tall with all-white plumage, generally dark legs and a thickish yellow bill. Breeding birds may have a reddish or black bill, greenish yellow gape skin, loose filamentous plumes on their breast and back, and dull yellow or pink on their upper legs (regional variations). The sexes are similar.
Some taxonomists put this species in the genus Egretta or Ardea.
The Intermediate Egret stalks its prey methodically in shallow coastal or fresh water, including flooded fields. It eats fish, frogs, crustaceans and insects.

I don't think you can get more "breeding" than this one! Shame about the harsh light, the story of my life up north at Xmas.
Intermediate Egret as seen in Sultanpur National Park, Haryana.
Sultanpur is 40 kms from Delhi and an weekend destination for NCR. There are lots of resident birds as well as amazing migratory birds in winter months.
