Jeff super images, thanks for sharing them with us. Glad you picked up the RPS link about new software for your Olympus.

I went to another reserve this morning. I haven't been to this reserve since before our COVID restrictions. Even though it is only 20mins drive from home, it was outside my 5km limit. Now we're getting back to some normality its great to get out and about.


#1 Australasian Darter (Male)


#2 Australasian Darter (Female)


#3 Great Cormorant


#4 Straw-necked Ibis


#5 Striated Pardalote


#6 Blue-billed Duck (Male)


#7 Golden-headed Cisticola doing the splits


#8 Little Pied Cormorant


#9 Galah


#10 I also managed to photograph a Fox while there :)

Great set of images Richard.

Love #7 Golden-headed Cisticola doing the splits.  So sharp and well timed.
I admire your patience and skill.

Thank you Johnathan

No patience when it comes to me and photography. I generally only go for an hour sometimes a little longer when I go birding depending on the size of the reserve. Any longer than that I'm usually bored. I mainly visit local reserves for this reason, which also restricts the variety of birds to see and photograph.

I can't wait to see the wider variety if you ever get the urge to go further from home!

Amazing images compared with our mostly somewhat dull and drab species in the UK.  Thanks for posting.

I agree with your approach.

In fact, from a pure bird 'observation' point of view, I've always said 20mins in a hide and you know what's about. If nothing shows, move on. Of course if your aim is photographing the birds, you may have to stay longer, if only to get more / better opportunities.
