Looks good, Iain.
I can see why GeoffR likes the D4.

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.

Thank you Robert

There are reportedly 828 bird species in Australia

Seeing many of the birds being posted on local social media groups, does bring home how many I have not seen

Thank you Graham

If you're ever down our neck of the woods, I'm sure we'll be able to show you some of the local bird life.

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.

I agree, it usually doesn't take too long to know if you're likely to see many birds or not. Knowing where popular spots are for birds does help as well. This is where social media has helped, but also has been detrimental. When a locally rare bird has been spotted in a reserve, it can cause a big influx of birders which ultimately causes distress for the birds. Particularly when they are Owls, and photographer's harass them while they sleep so they open their eyes.

Then you must go at the best times!

Did you use the D500 for the "Golden-headed Cisticola doing the splits", I cant see any EXIF details?

I usually try to be at a reserve about an hour after sunrise to ensure there is plenty of light and the sun is still low. It also allows me to observe birds of prey once the temp starts to rise to hopefully be in a good spot to see and hopefully photograph them.

Yes I did use the D500 with 200-500mm lens
Here is another image taken not long after the previous one.

There is something about the images that the big pro Nikon's produce.
