Rod, after checking my bird book it appears those pigeons are from the more arid areas of the country. I had never ever seen one before.

Those Shingleback's are cute I reckon and I normally stop and check them out and give'm a little pat. I guess people would nickname them stumpy's Nev.

Nice photos there Jeff
It looks like it was a great trip.
Dont you just love those Finches I get them here by the dozens some days.
I sometimes just sit quietly with a cuppa and just watch them coming and going.

Cheers

Excellent photos, what lens are you using.

Ross,

Thanks, I was just using a little Canon A series with a 4X zoom. If you look closer a few of the bird shots are cropped heavily. I did have my digital SLR with me but I don't have a tele lense for it.

I would like a 400mm lens for taking shots out bush but can't afford one.

Thanks Jeff, I know what you mean about the price. Thought I may have bought a 200---400 lens, then I found out the price, $9500. now I'm back to dreaming.

The very same ones Big Fella. They musta got a look at you last time and that made them WILD!!!

I'm still amazed at how my legs managed to keep up to my speeding retreating body!

Don't think I had moved so fast in twenty years; although come to think of it I did also move pretty fast when you got in my way and I tried unsuccesssfully climbing over the top of you when that boar upped us at the cave.

FUN TIMES!!!

Jeff
