Nice! I must take a trip out to Mildura and check out the area. I've been through Mildura several times, but never had time to look at the national parks and reserves in the area. I could probably add a bunch of species to my list.

Nice! No shortage of detail there. You're definitely getting the best out of that 55-300.

Man, you sure know how to live the birder life!! I like it!

I think there may be several of us needing 'counselling' after reading your post.

Just coffee and samosas. Although with all that espresso he's drinking, he can't be spending that much time in the bird hide.

Great shot! They are such beautiful birds! I tried going out west near Griffith to photograph one with the K3, but didn't find one.

I cannot believe that you posted this. It is like a magician revealing how the tricks are done. You have just destroyed the image of all us retired members as being fit, healthy, active and adventuresome folks traipsing through the wilderness to get that perfect shot. We were admired for our fortitude. Now it will have to be for our laid back approach to life only..
