Quite an eclectic collection you have assembled Derek.

In #1 is that a Mangrove Heron.

Love the Sooty Oyster Catcher in #2.

I’m guessing you have a yellow-tailed black cockatoo in #3?

Lovely detail in the bird of prey in #4 – not seen one of these before.

Nice shooting Derek and thanks for these lovely views.

Cheers

There are some great shots in there, I really like the bee hives, and that young scruffy bird (maybe a blue heron?).
