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, or so I thought. The only reason we noticed him was because we were photographing a Lizard that was about 4 feet in front of […]

On a visit to Taronga Zoo here in Sydney, right at the entrance was this magnificent peacock with his massive tail feathers on full display. He was prancing around for several minutes on this day, and it gave me a great opportunity to take some images of him. From the brilliant almost electric blue of […]

Without even planning a photo shoot, a mate and I on a casual day out ended up in the southern part of Sydney with the hope of seeing whales migrating past the Sydney coast. The whales however failed to get the memo and never showed up but there were a number of surfers out catching […]

With months of planning and waiting for freedom from lockdown, a trip to the Western Plains Zoo in Dubbo was booked and batteries charged, but sadly someone forgot to tell the animals we were coming. This left us with little to shoot, so thankfully the Superb Fairy-Wrens were plentiful, and on this occasion accommodating of […]

On yet another walk around the Middle Head area just past Mosman in Sydney, I was hoping  to be able to capture more bird images, which I did, but the bonus was this very nicely coloured lizard that was first spotted lurking in the tall grass several feet away from me. After taking a few […]

With a new Tamron 150-500mm lens in tow, I decided another visit to Tarogna Zoo was needed to further test it out, and of course my own abilities to capture birds, even if they were in cages! After paying an even higher price than my last visit in April this year, I entered Taronga Zoo […]

Still putting the Tamron 150-500mm lens through its paces down in the bushland of Georges Head, I had more Kookaburras that sat watching me as I spent about ten minutes photographing them in various locations. Once again, the winds were blowing strongly so this was to be a great test of the abilities of the […]

In an effort to test out my new Tamron lenses, and irrespective of the fact it was raining and very windy, I decided to head out to my local bushland, Georges Head, and put the Tamron 150-500mm lens through its paces. However, given the very high winds and the full 500mm extension, I was expecting […]

Another adventure to the NSW Outback after another long lockdown, and this time wildlife was everywhere we looked. This trip more so than the last featured many native Australian animals, and in particular, lizards. We saw many lizards on the roadside and stopped many times to try and catch them, not always successfully, but a […]

Taking the opportunity to get out from lockdown once again, I headed out to Middle Head, not too far from where I was the previous day shooting the Lizard in Georges Head. The wind on this day was ridiculously strong, but I managed to get this Kookaburra while resting in between gusts of wind. As […]

I had never heard of Georges Head, until my son came home after a bike ride and told me where he had been. The fact it is a five minute drive from my home made me wonder why I had not even heard of it before now, so I ventured out with the camera in […]
