Excellent shot of the pair, Tom.

I may never get caught up on posts to this thread. So many amazing photos. Nevertheless I thought I'd post something before my shots become out of date. From a couple of weeks back, adult Common Tern feeding a juvenile.

Is that what they call being on "slippery slopes?" Very nicely done shot, Shalu.

Thank you very much, Mike!

Great Blue Heron...

Tom this attracted me when I first saw it and now I see what looks like Aussie wildflowers in profusion.
Is that a red callistemon (bottlebush)?
Here they are a magnet for honey eaters, bees etc.
The whole photo is very nice.

Love these birds and their plumage.
This one shows its refinery off so very well.
Very nice
