    Resting Thalassarche type Albatross - Bass Strait, Tasmania

    G'day I photographed this chap close to the Tasmanian coastline in January this year. It was sitting on the water, so I don't have an underwing shot. I'm mystified by the yellow spot back from the end of its bill. Regards, Laurie.

    A nesting woodland bird, Stanthorpe (Queensland, Australia)

    G'day I was out with my camera (but not my bins) this morning on a property near the NSW border. I came across a chest high nest with a pair of freshly hatched chicks. I moved away and photographed the parent when it returned shortly after. At the time it looked like a thornbill/gerygone...

    Swiftlets at the Penang Port

    G'day I photographed these chaps while a ship berthed at Penang in October. Not sure if they are all the same species, but the jizz of a couple seems to be a bit different to the Black-Nest types ... Regards, Laurie.
