Hi. I’m an amateur birder and an amateur photographer who's interested in improving on both. I’ll be posting photos of birds and trying to identify them correctly. Any corrections will be gladly received.
One plump Common Bronzewing.

A mumma Mistletoe Bird feeding her little one. I absolutely love the eye contact between them.

This was shot using the Raw Burst "pre-capture" function on the Canon R7 - for the camera nerds out there.

Little Pied Cormorant perched above Lake Sambell in Beechworth. An excellent place to enjoy a range of birdlife who are used to people, allowing nice close up viewing.

Right place, right time. Walking along the creek in Wangaratta with my camera when some friendly, dog walking bird enthusiasts directed me to this critically endangered Regent Honeyeater!
