Thanks LD. Got lucky in that he perched very, very close by... I think he was curious about the hikers passing through. Close enough that I was able to shoot these with my 70-200 lens.

This is an adult Pacific Gull
Australia’s largest gull, growing up to 65cm in length.
It occurs only along the coasts of southern Australia. Despite its name, the species is seldom seen on the Pacific coastline, and is far more common on the beaches bordering the Southern and Indian Oceans

Crossed one off my bucket list today, got a real pic of a saw-whet owl. I’m still riding the high of it hours later.

Huge admiration for Richard, avondale87, for his pictures of the Superb Fairy Wrens. I got my first photograph of a Wren last week and it was very difficult! I could not get close to them no matter how careful I was and this picture is a huge crop so either more work needed on my photographic skills or a portable hide required!  :p

This shot turned out quite nice, Mark! I like the way you composed it.

:lol: :lol: This was taken in the New Forest in the south of England... well they call it The New Forest it was actually proclaimed a Royal Forest by William the Conqueror in 1079 so it's getting on a bit now! I guess they don't have much contact with humans so are pretty wary of them unlike the Robins who were put on this earth purely to act as photographic models!  :p :lol:

A slightly sharper Wren but still a huge crop.

Tom, this close-up shot of the Curve-Billed Thrasher is beautifully composed, and very attractive! Excellent work.

Terrific close-up shot of this black swan, Neal! It's so sharp with great detail.
