    Pic of the Day – Sunrise

    Categories: Pic of the Day

    In what seems like forever I have managed to get out at sunrise and do a photo shoot. It felt good to get back to what started getting me into photography in the beginning. But like everybody else, life/Covid gets in the way. It also helps to be on holiday in the Sunshine Coast, staying…

    Pic of the Day – Red-bowed finch

    Categories: Birding, Pic of the Day

    It has taken me awhile to have a good opportunity to get a clear shot of this bird. A common bird but in my experience an elusive one when it comes to photography. Plenty of times I have seen them around, but never able to get a good shot. Taken a Oxley Common Creek, and…

    Pic of the Day – Red-backed Fairywren

    Categories: Birding, Pic of the Day

    The venerable Red-backed Fairywren, a common bird around eastern and northern Australia. It has been a long time between updates on this website, life has a habit of getting in the way, as does Covid. Hopefully moving forward, I can get some regular content happening. Today I managed to get to my favorite birding spot…

    Pic of the Day – Striated pardalote

    Categories: Birding, Pic of the Day

    A trip to Eagleby Wetlands today yielded one of the pardalote family of birds. I went back a couple of times, and this little fellow was there both times. The striated pardalote (Pardalotus striatus) is the least colourful and most common of the four pardalotespecies. Other common names include pickwick, wittachew and chip-chip.[2] It is a very small, short-tailed bird that is more…

    Pic of the Day – Forest kingfisher

    Categories: Birding, Pic of the Day

    Another birding day today. I am pleased to add to my collection this bird which has lovely colors. My collection stands at 25. The forest kingfisher (Todiramphus macleayii), also known as the Macleay’s or blue kingfisher, is a species of kingfisher in the subfamily Halcyoninae, also known as tree kingfishers. It is a predominantly blue and white bird. It is found in Indonesia, New…

    Pic of the Day – Brahminy kite

    Categories: Birding, Pic of the Day

    Morning walk at Oxley Creek Common, not much in the way of bird activity, but did manage to capture a new bird for my collection. The brahminy kite (Haliastur indus), formerly known as the red-backed sea-eagle in Australia, is a medium-sized bird of prey in the family Accipitridae, which also includes many other diurnal raptors, such as eagles, buzzards, and harriers. They are found in the Indian…
