#wildlifephotography on my doorstep.
The Willy Wagtails that have nested about 4M from our living room window have three recently hatched chicks. Flies for tea mum Thanks!

Mother Roo had to put her Joey in his place because he threw a tantrum when he tried to get back in the pouch.

So just outside my kitchen window we have Welcome Swallows feeding their newly hatched young. On the other side of the house we have a Willy Wagtail sitting on eggs. #birds #naturewriting #australia

#wildlife #hares #nature #nikon #wildlifephotography So today in our paddocks and backyard we have had three Hares running around chasing each other most of the day and even mating. Totally obliviously to us almost running over our feet. Oh yes and this strange behaviour. But I missed the boxing.

The Kestrel that I mentioned yesterday spent all night roosting on the window above our front door. It flew off this morning but was struggling. It spent an hour sitting on our 4WD posing. I am pleased to say it soared off to rejoin the three other Kestrels.

#birds #birdsofprey Wildlife on your doorstep. Literally.
This female Kestrel is now roosting on the window above our front door. It has been hanging about all day, not sure if it is due to the highs winds, hail and cold weather we have just had? But we usually get three nesting pairs each year.

The Nikon Z6iii has a new software upgrade and now features bird detection. Is it a bird is it a plane.....

What with this crazy world we now live in, I think a lot of us are turning to nature. Nothing beats walking out of the house getting amongst it with my camera to see what wildlife I can find.

Little Raven flying home to roost at sunset the other evening.
I was sitting on a log trying to capture some Welcome Swallows flying over the dam but it got too dark so I pointed my camera to the only patch of light left.

Can’t image that they are the fastest bird to take off and get out of the way ?

Very different to the Robin that I grew up with in the UK, the one that we all saw at Christmas even if it was on a card. The male Red Capped Robin, native to OZ made an appearance yesterday.

The mother better make sure that she holds on to her baby in the back seat. Those Outback roads ! The driver has a full load with his Ford Model T delivering passengers and newspapers to Berri in South Australia. Year unknown, 1920's ?

I've just brought a box of vintage glass slides from an auction and dusted off my trusty old Epson V700 from the cupboard and it still works.
So far I have been unable to find out where these two Plumbers were from

This has to be the hairiest Kangaroo that I have ever seen. He lives up in the ranges and judging by his ears he has been in a few battles over the years.

What many lovers of art don't realise is just how much Salvadore Dali influenced the average South Australian Farmer.
