Pu-ha! It has been a few busy weeks :-) First of all; to all those who have signed up as followers of my blog: Sorry for the lack of excitement on this site lately, however, since approximately 100% of my "followers" - that is you Jarrod - are fooling around in the red desert of Australia twitching grasswrens and trying to make storks fly in the Macpac honeymoon suite, I thought it would be just the right time to go exploring a bit instead of just writing about it ...
After having hit a bit of winter laziness I finally got my bum of the sofa and made my way out to Sydney Olympic Park (SOP) to do a bit of nature-photo-walk combo, I really enjoy these outings guess the only way of increasing the enjoyment would be to somehow get a bit of snorkeling, camping, electrochemistry and ice cream in there as well ... that would require a bit of inventiveness.
Approximately 50 meters after leaving the Magna I saw a Striated Heron. Camera in bag, lens cap on and the setting from the lightening shots I had done the night before was shutter speed priority set at 30 seconds, needless to say I did not get a usable photo :-) Never seen that bird before, but who is counting(?)
Had a absolutely fantastic day in the park, used about 4 hours - partly because I got lost - and took lots of pictures. I have selected a few and uploaded them to my Picasa account, feel free to follow the link below. Again SOP proved to be probably the easiest place around Sydney to get good bird in flight (BIF) shots. With the cormorant passing more frequently than aircrafts landing in Kingsford Smith, you either have to be blind or have a Canon camera to miss the shot ;-)
