Some new birds from around Floriade

[James Rolevink <>]

Hey there fellow GOGers,

Just finished putting up some new shots taken around Floriade this morning and the Botanic Gardens earlier in the week.

Alas, in my excitement at seeing the Corellas from a distance, I forgot to check my settings and found that I had left it on ISO400 and in high speed crop, so they are burned out, and when flying past, I clipped their wings a tad, but they are okay nonetheless. I think they are Little Corellas, not long? Although the males(?) do seem to have longer beaks than the females(?).

I also got some nice:

• Black Swan shots
• Purple Swamp Hens all in a row and in the flowers
• a weirdo brown and white duck that looks like a domestic cross???
• a Grey Fantail
• a little teeny titch-cracker I have no idea what it is (looks maybe like a White-Browed Scrub Wren???)
• better shots of some Silver Eyes
• a really cute little fuzz ball with orange legs who was tearing up some spider web to eat / make a nest???.
  

If you want to check out the first @20-ish shots, they are mostly the newbies: http://www.macattack.com.au -> Birds

Cheers,

James
