SkyWatch ~ Sunrise

Unusual for me I know, but just one shot of this splendid

sunrise. I am packing for a trip to the Flinders Ranges and

a coastal town on the Eyre Peninsula for a week or two.

Do enlarge it to see the full beauty.

I hope to get in some bird watching, fishing and painting while

away.

Be kind and leave some comments for me to come home to,

you know they brighten my days.

Keep safe and well until my return.

MY WORLD & World Bird Wednesday - Gone Fishing

I hope you all can forgive me for not getting around to all

your blogs. Things are somewhat stressful here now, and

for quite some time to come. I do hope you will still leave

me your comments, they help me get through each day and

I appreciate them very much indeed.

At present, like this pelican, Pelicanus conspicillatus "Ah's

gone fishin'.... Just to Moonta Bay for a couple of days for

some much needed R&R. Naturally my camera and paints

are also making the journey.

Oops, a slight adjustment to flaps and the landing should be

a safe if not an elegant one.

Like the pelican I am hoping to catch enough fish to feed us.

Be prepared for some tall and maybe true stories to come . . .

I shall be out of range while away, so stay safe, well and happy

meanwhile.

As always, all photos enlarge.

Watery & World Bird Wednesday - Egrets and Pelicans

"Gone fishin' . . ." Egret and, are they Herons or juvenile Egrets?

Can some knowledgeable person please enlighten me???

The fishing was good so when they had had enough, they flew into

the Norfolk Island Pine to roost. It was still afternoon, maybe

just for an afternoon nap.

The fishing was so good that there were no squabbles between

species. Here the Pelican, Pelicanus conspicillatus, has no

problem in sharing his space with two Australasian Darters,

Anhinga novaehollandiae.

I just threw in this baby Pelican because it was so cute with

its mouth full. Note the change of water colour with an 180

degree directional change in photographing.
