Curious Cockatoo
A very well known Australian Character is the Sulphur-Crested Cockatoo They most certainly have their place in the Australian Landscape. Everyone loves the Cockatoo, well almost everyone apart from the few people who like to have peace and quiet around them. The Cockatoo is well know for its loud shattering screeches They Breed from May-Sept in Northern Areas of Australia and from Aug-Jan in southern parts of Australia. The female will lay 2-3 eggs I captured this photo below very early in the morning and there were plants behind them, I had a shallow depth of field and with their...
Male Regent Bowerbird
What a stunning bird he is. My printer is just been given these 2 photos to print up on Canvas and Frame the male Regent Bowerbird can be a bit hard to see in the dark dense trees of a rain forest, but if you do manage to see him you are very lucky. I captured this one last October and again in November I will add both of these to our shop as well and they will be available as a portrait 40cmx50cm Dedicated to all the Australian Fauna and Flora lost to the 2019/2020 bushfires ...
Male King Parrot
This Male King Parrot just flew into our backyard yesterday. He has been hanging around here since he was a young juvenile, now he has bought his female friend and his young male juvenile chick only out of the nest for a few days.

The book was written by Graham Pizzey and it was illustrated by Frank Knight The name of the book is 'The Field Guide To The BIRDS OF AUSTRALIA' This book has great detail and information helping to make bird identification a little easier. I was intrigued by the Scarlet Honeyeater...
The Last Day Of Our Road Trip To Dubbo
On the morning of our 7th day road trip to Dubbo, I was awake very early as I wanted to enjoy the grounds before we headed up to have breakfast in the restaurant before leaving. Departing Dorrigo, we were originally going to travel down the mountain which was a beauitful drive calling into Bellingen but a friend suggested we do the inland road, she said it was a beautiful drive. So we set off, the road was narrow but had a good surface winding its way around corners down gullies, driving through some of Australians most beautiful National Parks Junuy...
