    Is there a more exciting spectacle than a Gannet feeding frenzy (or a harder one to capture on camera?). I had to go manual focus as not even the 1D could keep up with these birds travelling at speeds in excess of 40 mph

    Red-necked Wallaby

    There is a wild population of these locally. They originally escaped from a zoo back in the late '70's and are now thriving, but difficult to see.
