I am not an expert; I found the article noted. They come ashore to breed in the Spring. The rest of the year they spend at sea. You never know keep an eye out for them skimming over the waves. Bet you see some polar bears that time of year.

Me, or the birds..?

Lol. The birds for sure

I didn’t have a lot of time this morning and visited the Hunter valley for work. Consequently I couldn’t wait long enough for these wild water birds to get used to me and come closer. I’ll put it in the memory bank for another day.

Might be my first bird images, and a really common bird aswell, but heck, i'll post it anyways A couple of images of an coal tit, first scanning for preys and then having success. By the way - this is the first time i've searched for the birds name in english, and was suprised it was called tit.. In my first image where there is two of them - do i refer to them as coal tits?

You must be a magician with that first one Gaz! I don't even think I'd bother trying to get one in motion!

Haha! I thought the challenge was to photograph one that remains still! I’ve got hundreds of blurry movement shots!
