I went out looking for Marsh Harriers and Egrets.
But (very wrapped up in feeding their brood) these were a bonus

Ken, Three beautiful photos!  The saturated colours really work and the timing is perfect on the first one.  Cheers,  John

I'm glad I'm not a vole on the forest floor...

Death From Above! Great Horned Owl!  :o

Which reminds me of James Thurber's The Owl Who Was God.

"Alcornocales" park, near my hometown. Vultures are a common sight. They told me the government passed a law forcing people to retrieve dead animals. The park is cleaner but the vultures are running fast out of food. This one was -not usual at all before- in the parking lot. Very interested in the sound of the camera by the way  :)

Ooops, my mistake Colin...this one is a "Laughing Kookaburra" not a blue winged one.  ::) The status of largest kingfisher remains.

Thank you Nasos  :)

Not a 500pf but the 50-250Z on a Z50...at 250mm, f8, 1/1600 in this case.
Yes, that is a rather pure yellow! The little beastie is a New Holland Honeyeater, quite common around here including in the urban areas.
