A lovely morning with @Helen Banks having a wander around the Morass. This is the region I'm moving to in a couple of weeks! Well, if I manage to find a house anyway 😄 We were surprised to see a very relaxed female fox wandering around - not ideal, but what a beautiful creature they are. - Juvenile Tree Martin - Red-browed Finches - Juvenile Pied Stilt/Black-winged Stilt - Black-fronted Dotterel

My latest blog goes over what ISO is and what it does - it's a fantastic tool for the bird photographer when used at the right time. https://www.flyingparrot.au/post/common-misconceptions-about-iso

Immature Male Blue Wren. Taken in the 20th Feb 2026 at Tyers beach, there was a small area and there would have been 8 of them, both sexes. I do love these little birds.

It's always worth waiting just that little bit longer ... This was a bit of an average shot, the light was flat, the background wasn't clean, but I could see chips flying and kept hitting the shutter right after 'the chomp' into the Banksia cones so I could catch some mid-air action. Small actions add up to bigger story - and help to transform what would be an ordinary photo into something more.

I was excited to spot this juvenile Striated Heron by the river last week. I was sitting at the edge of the river waiting for Kingfishers (I'd heard some nearby) when this guy stopped briefly and I managed a couple of shots. Never seen one before, quite lovely patterns.
