Birds in flight
February 25, 2009
This time of year is great for photographing water birds in flight as they are constantly flying up and down the river. I just float down the river in the boat and wait for them to fly by. The first shot is of a pair of spurwing geese and the second a flock of great white egrets returning to their evening roost.

Flooded tree

Near to where we launch the boat there is this massive dead tree standing right out in the water. Most days when I am on the river I stop and take a couple of shots from roughly the same spot. It is very interesting to see how the images differ from day to day – here are a few so far..

The male red bishops are in full breeding plumage at the moment. Handsome fellows aren’t they?

Before and after
February 10, 2009
The river is full to bursting now so it is great to be able to get out on the boat at last. I took a number of images of the river in the dry season last year with the idea that I would take another lot from the same position in the rains. It has been a little more difficult than I thought as when the river is really full like this it washes away huge chunks of the bank and I often find that the spot where I was standing last year now no longer exists! Anyway here is a first attempt, more of these to come.
