Australian White Ibis
≠===================≠
Ibis in Australia get a really bad rap. Hardly their fault. Humans leave loads of waste food laying about and the Ibis have settled into cities for the easy pickings.
I grew up in irrigation country and was always fascinated by their feeding abilities among the wet paddocks.
This couple were working the shoreline and dropped down for an easy landing on the beach.

Black-shouldered Kite
≠====================≠
Went out with the 300mm PF Lens. I've not used it much since it had been repaired and I'd forgotten what a great combo it is with the TC 1.4 converter
A small, light, handhold package that delivers excellent results.

Greater Crested Tern
≠=====================≠
Young Tern begging for food from adult. It kept moving across the rock until the adult was forced to take off.

Little Black Cormorant
≠===============≠
A young Little Black had been fishing in the ornamental lake. It landed for a preen and to remove all the water to dry out.
An adult thought it shouldn't have landed on its 'special' perch and quickly flew to move the young one on.

Little Black Cormorant
≠===============≠
The young Cormorant suddenly realised that it was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
It slipped off the perch and back into the water.
