25.01.2022 apparently the great egrets not normally nest on the island. not in the clear but 3 chicks visible here

25.01.2022 finally with spring all sorts of stuff breeding. this coot family was on show today. adult feeding a chick from stuff fished from pond bottom. worlds ugliest chicks but cute at the same time

25.01.2022 Black-shouldered Kite - Newington Armory. This is a fledgling from the second brood this year. Notice the white talon.

24.01.2022 another pic from last visit. hardhead drake after the light gone. enough light to light eye in a narrow beam thru trees. 600f4 full frame

23.01.2022 went to lake belvedere today. sad to say that a new highrise now blocks the sun from around two to four pm. maybe better in summer. this is sad because it may mean that belvedere is no longer the premier place in sydney to practice flight photography

20.01.2022 another common sight around the park. australian pelican. this one full frame @600mm

20.01.2022 White-faced Heron, Newington Armory, Parramatta River.

19.01.2022 last bathing gull for now. in one of the brief times there was any light available

18.01.2022 been a bit slack in posting pix on fb in general lately. decided to pull finger out and post a few. Australian grebe in last light

17.01.2022 last for now Australian magpie at a bit after sunup. waiting for the eagles to fly from reserve but they chose to stay home. the maggie became a consolation prize

08.01.2022 not posted in a while, getting ready to move leaves little time for photography. here is a darter getting airborne

07.01.2022 went over to lake belvedere to see how the new sky scraper they are building nearby has affected the afternoon light. winter has been written off now but spring sees the sun rise above the skyscraper. so you can photograph flying birds there again. this pied cormorant has just taken off.
