Posted on January 5, 2021 by Stupidity Hole

A Gull Adrift

Posted on December 6, 2020 by Stupidity Hole

During my recent visit to The Royal Botanic Garden in Sydney I saw this silver gull floating about seemingly aimlessly on the water’s surface. Occasionally it would move, but otherwise it appeared to be content doing very little. This shot … Continue reading →

Behold! Another ibis preening. Slightly awkward angle but I like how it makes the ibis look like a feathery lump with legs. I hope you enjoy.

Ibis on a Fence

Posted on October 13, 2020 by Stupidity Hole

A bit of a dark photo, but I’m fine with that as it draws more attention to the ibis’ shape than it does the details on it, though it is nice that you can see some of the feather positioning. … Continue reading →

Posted on September 25, 2020 by Stupidity Hole

This was taken whilst on a recent walk. There was a shot of this noisy miner I took just after it commenced flight, but unfortunately there was a power cable that was really distracting to the shot, so here’s this … Continue reading →

Deep Clean

Posted on September 24, 2020 by Stupidity Hole

Just a photo of an ibis cleaning itself. I’m not sure as to why I didn’t share this sooner. It’s easy enough on the eyes and due to being a simple, pleasing shot. I like how part of the ibis’ … Continue reading →

In the Midst of a Step

Posted on September 20, 2020 by Stupidity Hole

The same Porphyrio melanotus as this one. This shot was taken shortly before the prior one. I’m not sure as to why I felt the need to mention that. I was trying to get a shot of the bird mid-step. … Continue reading →

Streptopelia chinensis

Posted on September 14, 2020 by Stupidity Hole

I think this is a different spotted dove than the last one I took a photo of, but in the same area a few minutes later. This one was cleaning itself whilst I was taking photos. I think for a … Continue reading →
