Doing what it does best, especially in the spring and early summer...

Was bored. Came up with this. 3 textures and image. All from my

Singing Honeyeater, Gavicalis virescens

+=================+

Not noted for their melodious songs, none the less they recieved the Singing name.

even the Eastern Screech Owls are singing up a storm:

"Spring is here, wake up everyone!"

A very early start to Dartmoor this morning and I was rewarded with the sight of this lovely Yellowhammer singing in a small holly bush just a few feet away.

Syngende Sangsvane ?

Singing

As they say I was up with the larks to get this one. The open fields in Ashridge where these little birds nest attracts a lot of visitors during the day and the heat haze make ground shots like this almost impossible.

Good to go.

I'm a bit lost with images lately...

they all seem to have something missing.

It happens.

So I'm taking some time off from posting to let it rest.

I'll try to get to know my paint brushes again

(they've forgotten who I am ;-)

And I always wanted to try combining painting and photography...

In the meantime... I'll be around to enjoy your work...

and I'll be back :-)

I was pleased to get my first proper photo of a singing Tree Pipit yesterday morning. This male showed quite well amongst the twiggage for a few minutes allowing me to get some photos of him.

While these birds are quite common, I find them very hard to photograph, as they always seem to be in the wrong spot. This one lets its guard down.

Another image from a recent shoot at the Hunter Wetlands Centre, Shortland; NSW.

I composed this one to include the bright highlight halo behind the birds head whilst it sat singing - hope you like it.

Thanks for any comments, views or favorites - most appreciated!!

Wishing you a fantastic day and weekend ahead.

On a grey day

Taken last year at Lake Seppings near Albany. Very elusive but a wonderful songster.
