  10. Lovely to see the landscape well as the birds - something many bird photographers neglect to show us. It's odd really since one of the major considerations when first identifying a species is the habitat in which it's found. You've done a fine job!

  13. Lovely photos, Carole. I used to visit Centennial Park from time to time when I lived in Sydney, and I particularly loved the thick Palm grove that you've captured in the background of your Ibis flock photo. Always reminded me of somewhere in South-east Asia or Africa!

thanks for visiting Snap Happy Birding, and for leaving a comment; I can still see them. Now both my blogs are resting in idle mode. It was time to give other things priority, even though I miss my regular blogging and the feedback that came my way over the years. Take care.
