Easter Surprise

The cockatoos were going ape around a tree near the dam, which they tend to do when there is a koala nearby. Goodness knows why – koalas pose no threat or competition to cockatoos. These shots aren’t particularly good as the koala was high in the tree and I didn’t have the tripod to keep the telephoto lens as steady as I would have liked. So I was lying flat on my back to try to get more stability with the lens at full zoom.

A bird's nest with style...

We’re not sure what bird this nest belongs to, but obviously one with a designer bent.
