    A few more shots from Monday. I actually lay down for the most of these, to try and get a more interesting angle and a cleaner background.

    All with Nikon D800 and Nikon 500PF f/5.6

    3. I used Photoshop's Depth Blur Neural Filter to apply more blur to the background in this one. I think it worked well.

    4. For comparison, this one was taken just crouching down.

    So good. Love the warm colours in these images. Also captured this bird in doing what it does rather than in fight or flight mode. But you have to remember I know nothing about bird photography.

      Thanks for the feedback Hans. It's how you respond to a photo really - whether landscape, portrait or bird.

    Never seen these and they are on the hit list. Thanks for posting for us who have not not seen them before.

      Thanks Ralph. They are found along the coast of North-eastern Australia down to Grafton or a bit further south. They are quite small and tend to be shy. Most lakes around here will have a pair of them.

    Lovely tones as Hans mentioned and good to see it in its natural surroundings Alan. #2 for me is really great and #4 really shows off how big their feet are. I'm glad you are able to get down low for your shots - for a few of us it's just a distant memory.

    My memory's not as sharp as it used to be.

      Thanks Isac. At 74 I’m finding it harder than it used to be to get down (and up again), but thankful that I can still manage it.

      I've yet to reach that milestone Alan (not far off it though) and I'm also not a gambler. Getting down EASY, getting up 40/60 (not good odds for me).
