I swear this one was just showing off doing chin ups, like 100% more than I could do.

Found this Fox Sparrow singing away from the top of a pine tree. Second shot was from a different position - a little closer and a better sun angle. But I guess you can't have everything.

More of the yellow headed black. It was midday when these were taken while I was out playing with the recently purchased camera. I realise now about the lighting conditions.

Very nice capture of the yellow-headed blackbird, Neal!

Thanks Mike. After everything I’ve learned now, wish to be out there again. Who knows if things sort themselves out maybe in a couple or more years again.

Yellow-throated Honeyeater
Endemic to Tasmania and some surrounding islands
A pear was past its used by date so I put it outside on an old crate and immediately this beauty descended on it and gorged itself

Thank you very much, Mike! yeah, and A7RIV as well! Who needs a $17K system when $1K gear will do :lol:

Very different, to me, and beautiful duck.
The colours are very nice along with the overall composition. The water droplets adds to overall appeal.

Thank you very much, Richard!
