jabari and more

Love the Jabaru, and have been lucky enough to see them 'display' - dancing on the beach a few years ago - reflections were magnificent.
Am always on the lookout and spotted this one last week on the way home. He didnt want to be photographed, and walked away ... quickly.

This wasp is a mud dauber, and made a nest of my kitchen window!!

A couple of beach panoramas from my place to finish off.

All pics taken with Fujifilm EXR, which has a lovely panorama feature.

Some interesting wildlife you have up there Liz – we’ve seen Jabaru in the wild but have had to travel to the Port of Brisbane wetlands to see them. I like the window into the wasp nest – quite an unusual view. Nice views from your front door eh!

Cheers

Dennis

Nice photos Liz

That's one awesome view to wake up to each morning, it must be murder trying to drag yourself away from that and go to work.
