Hobbyist bird photographer around Meanjin/Brisbane Australia. Photos here all my own unless noted otherwise.
It's time to post raptors!

Thanks! These are some of my favourite birds to photograph. I had a great day over the weekend watching two of these flying between perches out on the plains.

So that makes this a Crimecop scenario, then

Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth

You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people

My guess would be a tawny frogmouth

There's also a band named for TDWP, so that works too

Thanks! Didn't see any big stick insects, but there was this pretty healthy orb weaver up in the rainforest:

Oh that'll be amazing! Hopefully you do get some good pictures along the way

My usual camera is a Nikon D810, with a Sigma 150-600 zoom lens. I also have a 120-300 f2.8 lens for low light shots in the forest. It's heavy, but it gets the job done. My photos are all handheld, as i almost never bring a tripod.

Yeah, back around Easter. It was a great time, and I'm looking forward to getting back there. Still a few birds left to see
