Hopper on a log.

[Ironwood]

While making a coffee in the kitchen, I noticed out the window a Bush Turkey pecking at a Grapefruit under the tree. As I snuck out the door with camera in hand, the click of the screendoor latch made it run for the bush, so as not to waste the trip outside I took a few photos of a Rock Wallaby sitting on the log near the treeline.
This was in between showers, still very overcast. In fact in #2&3 you can see a few raindrops.

Nikon D7100 & Tamron 150-600.

What a gorgeous specimen Brad .... more than makes up for missing the turkey. How lucky are you to have them nearby.

[Ironwood]

Yes, they are great to have around. They graze on the lawn every am and pm, they find a cool place to hide in the heat of the day.

That's a great image of the rocky Ironwood. You've got a zoo happening in your very own backyard! Shame about the turkey - keep the camera ready, it may return!

[Ironwood]

Cheers Isac. Yes, the trouble is those Turkeys keep coming back, they are garden wreckers.

Nice series Brad - that camera and lens combo works well for you. Beautiful backyard too

[Ironwood]

Thanks Alan. I just retuned the focus on this lens, I think it was front focusing slightly, will see how it goes now.

Having trouble with my Tamron zoom too - good luck

I've got a mate up in NT, he's got two Tamron lenses, 150-600, and 90mm macro, both have failed AF. He's not too happy with them.

A nice healthy Hopper too........well taken.

Cheers Eaglem. They thrive around here, we have dozens of residents.
