I like this moody image, Fogg Dam was living up to its name today

Quite! One could be forgiven for reversing the two words if it was not so artistic.

 

Congrats on your Half Century.

Well done on passing 50. Beautiful birds, and you have great names for many of them. Willy Wagtail is a prize winner.

[Peter Connan]

Congratulations.

 

Lovely photos of beautiful birds.

[PeterHG]

Congrats on 50 and more. Lovely photos throughout!

[Zim Girl]

Another lovely collection of birds, well done on reaching 50.

What a lovely shot to celebrate 50 great ones!

Beautiful portrait of the Heron, and what a stunner that Kingfisher is. Great additions allround!

[Kitsafari]

what a beauty that heron is!

I've been really busy lately so not much birding time, so here is one I missed from Fogg Dam

congrats on 50, brilliant shot of the BW kookaburra with the preying mantis

[Dave Williams]

Yes, been catching up too. Well done on 50.

Not so sure I like the Royal Spoonbill over the European version, looks as if it's stuck it's head in a bucket of oil but the Pied Heran leaves ours behind. A real cracker!

[michael-ibk]

Awesome Kookaburra shots!

[shazdwn]

It seems that I have quite a bit of catching up to do. Luckily I just did a quick trip to Melbourne for my dad's 80th birthday and managed to squeeze in a bit of birding in a different climate. 

 

The city offered up a lot of introduced species.  Am I embarrassed to use this one? Well no, not at all. EBC right
