    These birds are widespread and can be found throughout Australia where the habitat is suitable. Although they will perch on bare branches, they seem to prefer to be high up. I was happy to get this fellow at eye level.

    Not a good shot but with an overhead sun and cluttered background the best that i could manage. Only posted as I believe this is the first flight shot posted since 2009 by Stoop .

    One of those serendipitous moments - you point the camera at the bird and it raises its wings and poses!

    These birds are normally high up out of reach, but this one saw a moth and came down towards me, to my delight!

    Just playing this arvo with the Kenco 1.4 Tele converter and after taping the 3 pins seem to get auto focus OK even in low light. Time will tell

    First time I've seen this one up close enough to get a shot, although they're often in the distant trees at my place.
