A hot afternoon in Kununura, lake side at Lake Kununura, looking once again for the Crocodiles that rest here, I noticed the Comb-Crested Jacana and many of them. They are quite a pretty little bird and fascinating to watch as they move across the top of the water with ease. Once again, these images show […]

During my Road Trip to Broome, I made a pit stop at Mataranka and decided to pay a visit to the Mataranka Hot Springs. Hoping to catch a glimpse of a crocodile by the river, I walked carefully through the palm trees, only to be met with disappointment as none appeared. As I made my […]

So, along the long road to Broome, I found myself resting up in the caravan park in Kununurra for a couple of days. Located right on the Kununurra lake, it is a beautiful place to hang for a while and rejuvenate after a lot of driving. What could be better than relaxing, lake side and […]

During my road trip from Sydney to Broome in Australia, I encountered a captivating sight of numerous birds soaring near the roadside. At first, I mistook them for Falcons due to their swift flight. Intrigued, I decided to take a break from driving at a rest area. As luck would have it, I witnessed a […]

It has a distinctive yellow throat and chest, contrasting with its dark gray-brown upperparts. The wings and tail are dark gray, and the underparts are pale gray. It has a thick, […]

On a very long road trip from Sydney to the other side of Australia, Broome in Western Australia, I stopped at Cunnamulla for the night. As often happens in the afternoons, the local birds start sitting high up in the trees ‘discussing’ the day they have just had. This was another opportunity to test out […]

The heliotrope flower, also known as Heliotropium Amplexicaule, is a fragrant plant with clusters of small, blue/purple flowers. Bees are often attracted to heliotrope flowers because of their sweet scent and the nectar they produce. Down by the river at Coorongooba Campground in the Wollomi National Park just outside of Lithgow in NSW, there is […]

The Jacky Winter is a small bird native to Australia, typically found in woodland and forest habitats. It measures around 13 cm in length and has a distinctive gray-brown plumage, with a white belly and throat. The bird also has a black “V” shaped bib on its throat and a white eyebrow. It is known […]

The Red Browed Finch is a small, colorful bird that can be found throughout Australia, including the Coorongooba Campground in the Wollemi National Park. The Red-browed Finch is most easily recognised by its bright red eyebrow, rump and beak, on an otherwise green and grey bird. Upperparts are olive green with grey underneath. Both sexes […]

The Olive-Backed Oriole is a stunning bird species that can be found in various parts of Australia. These birds are known for their distinctive green and yellow plumage, and they often make their homes in forested areas near rivers and streams. If you’re an avid birdwatcher or a photographer looking for a unique subject, then […]

Another year, another visit to Taronga Zoo on Sydney’s Lower North Shore. I am fortunate to live only five minutes away so it is a local attraction for me, and one I should visit more often than I do. But a warm Saturday morning, and nothing else to do, was the trigger on this occasion. […]

I went to my usual spot to see what birds would be around, and the only one we saw was this young Kookaburra sitting in a bush at eye level. The only reason we noticed him was because we were photographing a Lizard that was about 4 feet in front of him. We spent about […]
