  1. Rather distant fly-over

    Rather distant fly-over

    So the chat Alex had with the two guys produced the information that one of them, an experienced birdwatcher, had seen and photographed a Noisy Scrubwren that morning, which was on our list for the day. He showed us his picture which was on his camera. So after lunch we set off following his...

    Small but nice

    We spent quite some time exploring the park, but few birds revealed themselves (it was very hot, so guess they were keeping well into the shade). However, we did stop a lot and went for little walks, getting pictures of plants and the scenery (views were terrific with the mountains beyond). We...

    Aerial combat

    After lunch that day we had a tour around the reserve, but I didn't get any really decent pictures due to the heat haze mostly (I won't mention my poor technical skills!) Heading back to town we called in at the Cunnamulla Evaporation Ponds. A spotted a raptor flying over, which turned out to...

    The wee one

    We drove around the Porongurups, stopping here and there for interesting spots, walks and views (of which there were many of all). At one place, overlooking Mount Barker, we had pulled up when this Little Eagle flew over. I just managed to catch him before he went out of sight!

    The time was beginning to wear on now, so we headed back towards Cunnamulla but first detoured into the Evaporation Ponds. Wandering along a path beside one of the ponds my attention was drawn to a raptor and there was a Little Eagle flying over. At one point he actually got mobbed by a Crow...

    This resident Little Eagle female is just the most amazing hunter. Day after Day, Season after Season, Year after Year, she successfully hunts, and provides for her family. Having watched her over the best part of a decade, she has shown a distinct preference and hunting style aimed at...

    From the markings under the wings this seems to be a Little Eagle to me, but I have been known to be wrong on several occasions LOL Ken

    'Windy!...'

    Hi all, I have had a very busy time, as my sister came for a visit from the UK and I had to show her all of the birding places and boy is she hooked! I haven't been able to come and join you all at BF and have missed you all terribly especially not seeing all the great shots that have been...

    Little Eagle ( Light Morph)

    This one is for Stoop. This is the light ( more common) morph of the Little Eagle. This one has its roost not far from me on the Darling Scarp and is seen most mornings. I took this last September. It has the typical "m"

    Little Eagle

    Sitting in the garden this afternoon and suddenly the New-holland Honeyeaters alerted me to an intruder. I grabbed my camera and waited...This lovely bird came skimming over the trees. They are fairly common around the hills but still lovely to see and because of their habit of skimming the...
  17. Take-off

    Take-off

    This morning I took the camera for a walk in some suburban bushland five minutes drive from home. Not much of interest but I found this fellow perched in a dead gum tree. I gradually got closer but still too far away for my 400mm lens. After about ten minutes he took off in my direction and I...

    Waiting for a thermal

    If you drive slowly, stick to the backroads, and keep your eyes open, you get some wonderful surprises, sometimes. This Little Eagle was just as you see: only a few metres over the fence, standing on the grass, and walking around a little. I stopped rather too close to it - a Brown Falcon, which...
