Great pics .Our Eastern Rosellas have much more yellow over the mantle up here in NE NSW.What are your settings with the 1.4 extender?

beautiful Patrick.

It must be gorgeous up there at the moment. I'm envious as I feel very stuck in the city at present.

Thanks guys.

Derek, for this one I used F9 1/320 and ISO 800 for the shot with the extender.

Nick, it is certainly moist and green, but clear skies are a bit of a rarity at present. The golden wattles are out and we are at the start of a great spring show.

Nice set Paddy. The purple swamp hen is brilliant. There is a multitude of them along the Barwon, but they are more uniform in colour.
