Black Swan & cygnets, Etiwanda wetlands
White-plumed Honeyeater, Mildura
I must admit that the honeyeaters and bush birds are much harder to photograph than the waterbirds! Even though these honeyeaters are so common, I still struggle to get a good shot. Even though I like the colours in this, it is a bit of a shame that that closer bottlebrush is there.
The five swan babies have been coming along well, although they would want to watch out they don't get kicked out - mum and dad are already looking at the nest again!

Pretty black swan!!! Being that your honeyeaters are very common, a LOT of birds, I've found, are so very difficult to capture on camera. I think yours is a super image.
ReplyDeleteOh Yes! Waterbirds and shorebirds are MUCH easier to photograph - plus I get to go out in my kayak for them!! Great photos!
ReplyDeleteWe don't have the black swans here, at least they are not native ... they are simply gorgeous. And I think your picture of the honey eater is adorable ... and the bottle brush is part of the natural setting which makes it very special. I think you did well ..

The black swan is gorgeous. We don't have them here either.
ReplyDeleteI love the Black Swans, they are so elegant. Cute shot of the Honeyeater. Great shots, have a happy week!
ReplyDeleteLovely captures, the Black Swan is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photographs! I empathize with trying to catch the smaller birds in a good shot. Yours is just splendid!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Swan image and a better result than you give yourself credit for with the Honeyeater image. Cheers

Love your swan family.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shot of the Black Swan and family.
ReplyDeleteWow the Swans and Honeyeaters are both absolutely splendid shares, beautiful!
ReplyDeleteNice combination picture of the adults and young.
ReplyDeleteHouse sparrows are a pest species - but I think they may be here to stay.

Lovely images, but the swan and young is my favourite!
