RIP Margaret Leggoe

[Martin Butterfield via Canberrabirds <>]

Definitely a character, who will be missed.  She once visited our place at Carwoola with her wheelchair hide and mega-lens dragged up Kunzea-covered banks to get shots of birds using our dam for bathing and insect hunting.

I shared several times with Margaret in the Kelly's Swamp hides. I was a
beginner bird photographer at a time when Margaret was already
well-established. Margaret was generous with her advice and her advice
was excellent. Part of her legacy is the marvelous series of images on
one of the posters on the wall of one of the Kelly's Swamp hides. Look
for the 'ML'.
