Hello,
Here are some more portraits of some the amazing bird life on Moreton Island, some 30 kms across the bay from Brisbane. We have annual “Island Passes” which give us unlimited day trips so we often visit on those sunny days.
The Swallows are so swift and agile that I find it impossible to get a decent shot of a Swallow in flight, so I park myself to where a pair have adopted a branch as a perch and fire off at 7 frames per second as they come in and depart. Lo and behold, if I am lucky, 1 in 100 shots manages to produce a result!
The Osprey was posing on top of the crane that loads/unloads luggage from the ferry, allowing me to get some nice close ups.
The Whistling Kite was perched low down in a tree allowing another close up shot.
I haven’t yet figured out if the soldier crabs were fighting, dancing with the stars or mating!
Thanks for looking.
Dennis
