you are no hoodwinker! Your photos are great. I am still feeling great shame from calling the frogmouth an owl. Lately we are loving the bats but my photos of them are all sky.
I'm keen to take my camera to the bats. The zoom is amazing. At the moment I'm having to do walks twice a day - once with the dog and again with the camera! The things I spot when I've got the dog but not the camera - gah! Today it was a kookaburra with a freshly caught rodent, wonderfully gruesome, and a water dragon sunning itself on a rock.
What a great post! Thank you. I love your bird photos, too. I currently have a butcherbird family hanging about my inner-city balcony and Baby Butcherbird learning to warble is my new favourite thing.
I shared bad iPhone pics for years and even though the quality was terrible, sometimes expert birders would be impressed that I'd got that close to a yellow robin or found yet another tawny nest and it's a very generous community. But the camera is a game-changer! When I'm stressed, it's the thing I want to do, very grounding (even when Great Danes come along).
Twitterings and rustlings!!
Haha, I know! Picture book title, you reckon?

Thank you, Michelle. I'm with you on the butcherbirds! They are an underrated delight with a beautiful song.
