Herb Guyatt Reserve.

Went for a walk around Herb Guyatt Reserve today, first bird was a Kingfisher on the power lines at the gate, plenty of Eastern Yellow Robins, and Wrens, but, the highlight was a Rufous Fan Tail, the low light was I didn't get a photo, just wouldn't sit still.

 Eastern Yellow Robin, with Bug.

Sacred Kingfisher. (Not a good shot had camera on f/20 from another job.) Shutter speed too slow.

Blue Tongue Lizard, not Guyatt Reserve, at my back door.

A Mixed Bag.

Young Wedge Tailed Eagle is still in the nest as of 9/1. Have checked with (Birds of Prey of Australia, Stephen Debus), the young of Wedge Tailed Eagles stay in the nest 79 days to 95 days, this one has been in the nest about 75 days.

 Not sure of this species. Taken with 500mm lens standing back about 20ft. minimum focusing distance.

Whistlers.

First blog for 2018, yet another walk through the Sale Common. The Rufous Whistlers were out in force. Three in one tree and further around another two. Just a few snaps of the different poses.

Azure Kingfisher taken a couple of days before. Not a good photo the Kingfisher was over one hundred yards away.
