  1. White-breasted Woodswallow

    White-breasted Woodswallow

    Woodswallows are one of my favourite birds. There are 6 species in Australia, but they are not found anywhere else in the world. This bird was one of a mixed flock of White-breasted, Black-faced and White-browed Woodswallows. They were having a bit of R. & R. at wetlands fed by a hot...

    This picture was taken in the early morning from Black Point Wildlife Drive, near Titusville, Fl. It was hunting the shoreline, the background was very dark, and the white bird was brilliant all the elements needed for a nice photograph.

Like other grebes, the Australasian Grebe is often seen eating its own feathers and feeding them to its young. This behaviour is thought to help prevent...

  11. Get off my patch!

    Get off my patch!

    Intermediate egret (Plumed egret) dispatches White ibis. The egret flew past me grumbling querulously to itself before bad-temperedly kicking the (bigger) Ibis off the river bank. A bird with attitude.

    Reed Bunting

    Taken between showers at Rhyd Y Blew, Ebbw Vale. This male just kept singing as I tried to get closer but eventually I had to settle with a fairly tight crop, hence the noise.
