A couple pics from Cooinda Yellow Waters, Australia that I took in 2018. Sony a7 and Sony/Zeiss 70-300 zoom. A comb-crested jacana (Irediparra gallinacea) walking around a marsh. The second pic is the chick of the same critter. Second pic a bit over-exposed, but I did not tweak the jpeg in software.

Lord Howe Island Birds
Birds I photographed on a recent trip to Lord Howe Island. I'll post them in the order I took them (maybe adding others later). If you'd like different formats or higher resolution, please contact me (meant especially but not only for those who I gave my details to while on the island).www.flickr.com
