Still rainy so decided to stop at a few spots where I knew there were birds.

A few finches first. Still raining.

A juvenile?

Pair of white Breasted Sea Eagles

Kingfisher

Some nice shots there Scott, I've never seen those red finches before.

 

[Scott Murray]

Thanks @Ironwood Brad, they are crimson finches I think. Hard to get close to them but next days off I will try for more / better shots.

And my trusty model, albeit a bit tired

Well you can tell by the look of this whistling kite that it is a bit wet out there

Am happy with the 1/250th sec at 600mm though

More macro madness, the weather is not bad but at the end of the day there are not too many critters around to photograph.

A grasshopper hiding.

Close up of my resident spider.

My friendly Dragon fly was back.

Well I raced home from work, looking at the shelf cloud approaching. I had my fingers crossed that I could get into a position to try and capture it all.

This is what I ended up with.

Looks like some ominous weather approaching.

Nice monsoonal weather we are getting, lots of rain and wind but not much lightning and if there is it is enveloped in the rain and clouds.

 

[Scott Murray]

Just the usual Macro's today.

Went for a fish. No luck but was enjoyable.

Magela Creek sitting at 1.7m the road is closed.

Evelyn fishing off the back of the ute, I reversed in until the water touched the side steps on my car (knee deep).

 

[Ironwood]

Got a snorkel on that ute Scott ?

I didnt think you Teritorians were afraid of a bit of water

Its not the water that scares me, its throwing away $100k and maybe getting eaten by a Salty
