Gregory's ServerSometimes photographing birds is just pure joy 😍 Can you imaging my delight when not only did this happen, but I managed to pan with him AND my autofocus worked like magic. Sacred Kingfisher bathing today just before sunset. He dived in 3 times and I only caught the one, but I am simple delighted to have it. #birds #birdphotography

These Carnaby's Cockatoos are an endangered species, but currently there are hundreds of them at Yanchep National Park. I really struggle to take nice photos of birds en masse like this - I just don't have the eye to put any sort of composition or coherence into these images. It's just chaos. #birds #birdphotography  In a school of fish, such "chaos", the inability of a predator [the photographer!] to focus on one is very much a feature. In a flock of birds, I wonder, may this be the case too? In addition to further benefits like many eyes on the horizon and early warning calls from conspecifics about predators. @tessa_murray Magnificent! Is it this one? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxalis_bowiei Fairly quiet on the birding front today - but this meant I spent a lot of time just watching the little black-fronted dotterels feeding in the mud and listening to the swallows chatting amiably amongst themselves. I always go out hoping for 'that' shot, sometimes I forget how mesmerising it is to just be. #birds #birdphotography #nature  @tessa_murray i forget sometimes too. nice to just be out there though. this is a good reminder |
@tessa_murray That's a really awesome photo, nice work
