As the title suggests. I was walking around yesterday afternoon. From a distance I saw two ibes on a lamppost. I was in a park at the time trying to get photos of rosellas (They might not have been; it … Continue reading

Going for a Walk

A shot of a spotted dove (Streptopelia chinensis) walking along a roof. I think this shot gives a sense of distance quite nicely. I also think the colour isn’t too harsh and helps to give the scene a relaxed feel … Continue reading

Side Duck

Another photo of a duck. I like this photo because it looks odd. To me the duck looks like it’s longer than how it would normally appear. I also like the clarity in most of the feathers, as well as … Continue reading

Here’s a shot of an Ibis walking around looking for something to eat. This photo feels a bit moody to me. Might be the lighting. It’s simple and presents the Ibis’ elegance and grace quite well, I think. This is … Continue reading

Strepera graculina in Flight

I’m glad this photo turned out as well as it did in monochrome as it was rather unpleasant in colour. Shame the background isn’t a little sharper, but the pied currawong looks quite good, I think. The photo gives a … Continue reading

Gotta Shake

A shot of an ibis shaking water out of its feathers. It’s not something I get to see too often. I think I did a good job of capturing the motion of the shake, as well as some of the … Continue reading

Gymnorhina tibicen tibicen
