Jackwin 777: Australian Wood Duck
http://jackandelaine.blogspot.com/2015/07/australian-wood-duck.html
Wednesday, 29 July 2015. The Australian Wood Duck. Used to be called the Maned Duck. Yeah yeah. Right. They are always changing names. I discovered last weekend that the Black-winged Stilt is actually the White-headed Stilt. These following images of an accommodating [relatively] pair were taken on the Macalister River at Maffra. The male has a mane! Downside to the species:. Defecating everywhere [especially paddocks - can't be good for bovine or ovine health]. They are a pretty bird. It takes one moment.

Jackwin 777: September 2014
http://jackandelaine.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Monday, 29 September 2014. When you are walking along very slowly keeping a lookout for all those birds in the treetops, you tend not to pay attention to what is at your feet. Besides, a stick is a stick. I was about 3 metres away when I noticed the stick and did a quick stop. Not often you see a stick as straight as this. Lowland Copperhead Austrelaps superbus. Even though he/she was warming up, there was still enough energy to flatten the neck. ID anyone? Monday, September 29, 2014. Gippsland has two t...

Jackwin 777: May 2015
http://jackandelaine.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, 30 May 2015. NT Road Trip 2015: Part 02. Day 3 - Orroroo to Coward Springs. Red-kneed Dotterel Erythrogonys cinctus. Australian Spotted Crake Porzana fluminea. This crake was seen two mornings running just on the edge of the sedges and rushes and was totally unconcerned by my presence. On the second morning, with the rising sun behind me, I stood in the creek to get better photos, only ten metres away. A different reaction from the crakes of Maffra Swamp or Lake Guthridge. BLCA is an excellent ...

Tuesday, 31 March 2015. Birdlife East Gippsland had an outing to Burnt Bridge and Cherrytree east of Lakes Entrance yesterday for a morning of birdwatching. I was especially taken with Burnt Bridge. Answers as to what he/she is doing with the right foot on a postcard to . Perhaps the leg is injured. A little further on we spotted a second sea-eagle, maybe a first year juvenile bird with all the brown feathers. Magic f8 and be there! Tuesday, March 31, 2015. Tuesday, 24 March 2015. Lunch the next day at N...
