Little corella
Cacatua pastinator
The sight of a large brown snake swimming ashore in a creek below its
nesting tree triggered this threat display. I had no idea of the snakes
presence until the bird’s warning. Lens 200 mm

Peregrine falcon Falco peregrinus
In hot pursuit of a feral pigeon. The pigeon escaped as it knew its territory
very well. Racing pigeons are often at a great disadvantage as they wing
their way through strange territory and resident peregrines occasionally
will kill one. Most of the peregrine’s prey is smaller and easier
to catch. Lens 300 mm

Australian magpie babies Gymnorhina tibicen
Young magpies at feeding time. Not long after this time the young leave
the nest, often well before they can fly. Many people pick them up at
this time and ‘hand rear’ them. They should be left alone.
Lock up the cat. Lens 55mm

A small flock landing in treetops. Often seen in large flocks in inland
and farming areas of Australia. Lens 500 mm.

Black duck & babies
Very wary in the wild. I had to camp out in a hide over night to get close
to this duck and her young. Lens 200mm

Yellow-footed rock-wallaby Petrogale xanthopus
A very agile of wallaby found in the Flinders Ranges and inland areas
of NSW and Qld. The wedge-tailed eagle soars above the wallabies habitat,
always on the lookout for the young, sick or injured animals and birds.
Threatened species. Lens 200 mm

fly. Lens 300 mm.

Musk lorikeet
Glossopsitta concinna
Found in coastal southeastern Australia and Tasmania. Flocks of
these fast-flying lorikeets gather sometimes in large numbers in flowering
trees and shrubs Lens 100 mm micro.
