Even though we had been on the official birding tour for a few days, we had come across a number of these beautiful orioles, along with their close cousins, the Green Oriole. They had proved (and continued) to be difficult to photograph because of the ability to blend right into the leaves. This one granted me two photos before vanishing.

The Northern Water Dragon is mainly found in the far northern Australian coastal regions in the Northern Territory and the western portion of the Cape York Peninsula. It also occurs in the southern part of New Guinea and on some of the islands to the north of Australia, as far north as the Maluku Islands of Indonesia.
Within its distribution, this semi-arboreal species can be found in a range of habitats, including coastal dunes, tropical savannah woodlands, monsoon forests, paperbark swamps and billabongs, creeks and riverine environments. In particular, it can be found in the Arnhem Land tropical savanna, the Cape York Peninsula tropical savanna, the Carpentaria tropical savanna, the Trans-Fly savanna and grasslands, the Victoria Plains tropical savanna, and possibly the Kimberley tropical savanna.(Wikipedia)

Our first lizard of the trip! This handsome creature posed nicely for us as we jockeyed around him to get the best view. In total, he is about 10cm in length from nose to tail tip.

Never before have I seen as many Pale Chanting Goshawks as I saw in Namibia, here I include a typical bush scene with a curious juvenile peering out from the background where it rules over its territory...
this is a short clip on one of these birds of prey, if you are squeamish, don't watch it as it is eating a small rodent...

Or the power of God.

My mate Nev checking out the territory from the top of the still bare Plum Tree that is next to our balcony, as his family, along with the Blackbirds, Wattlebirds and Doves vie for the best real estate to build a nest.

Archie enjoying the great outdoors, or the back garden to be more precise, of my new home in Ayrshire.
His territory is in for some radical change in the coming few weeks as I have some tall 'back saving' beds on the way so that I can start growing my own food once again. I have so missed the flavour and goodness of growing my own food.
Archie will be no good at keeping the birds away from the seed though, they chase him around!
Happy Caturday to you all!
Ellery Creek Big Hole is one of the most popular and picturesque camping, walking, swimming and picnic spots in the Tjoritja / West MacDonnell National Park. The spectacular waterhole is fed by the West MacDonnell Ranges (Tjoritja) and surrounded by high red cliffs and sandy Ellery Creek. It is also at the trailhead for Sections 6 and 7 of the 231 kilometre Larapinta Trail walk.
Thousands of years of massive floods have carved out this waterhole, which is recognised as an internationally significant geological site. Take the 3 kilometre Dolomite walk to see the surrounding formations. The Aboriginal name for Ellery Big Hole is Udepata. The permanent water made it a special meeting place for the Aranda people on the fish and honey ant dreaming trails. 16311

Tulips (Tulipa) form a genus of spring-blooming perennial herbaceous bulbiferous geophytes (having bulbs as storage organs). The flowers are usually large, showy and brightly colored, generally red, pink, yellow, or white (usually in warm colors). They often have a different colored blotch at the base of the tepals (petals and sepals, collectively), internally. Tulips originally were found in a band stretching from Southern Europe to Central Asia, but since the seventeenth century have become widely naturalised and cultivated. Flowering in the spring, they become dormant in the summer once the flowers and leaves die back, emerging above ground as a shoot from the underground bulb in early spring. The tulip's flowers are usually large and are actinomorphic (radially symmetric) and hermaphrodite (contain both male (androecium) and female (gynoecium) characteristics), generally erect, or more rarely pendulous, and are arranged more usually as a single terminal flower, or when pluriflor as two to three (e.g. Tulipa turkestanica), but up to four, flowers on the end of a floriferous stem (scape), which is single arising from amongst the basal leaf rosette. 11717

Just returned from a most amazing trip to the Northern Territory. This photo was taken at the Uluášu Camel Tours in Yulara on a day where the resident Guineafowl attempted their great escape from the barnyard.

Created with 2 Wombo images plus hiker added from a third, all blended with Pixelmator Pro.
Prompts: Troll under forest bridge, ultra realistic skin and human eyes, scruffy hair

Used a gray toned texture as an input.
I hope this hiker just turned around and ran the other way.
So glad you joined the this trek!
