Australian Pelicans, Great Cormorant and other waterbirds - Lake Burley Griffin, September 2021

BirdsinCanberra September 29, 2021

September has arrived with the slightly warmer mornings than the previous few months plus the sun rising earlier. Simultaneously the ACT Government extended the COVID lockdown exercise time out to two hours. With all that in mind I decided that it was time to take the camera in the kayak again on to Canberra’s iconic Lake Burley Griffin. Because of the longer time for exercise I could now go for a longer paddle and still have enough time, and light, to take photographs. What amazed me on the first paddle was only when I took the first few photographs of the beautiful, darkly coloured Australasian Darter did I realise how much I had missed kayak photography. I think it was the combined elements of the peaceful water, drifting towards wild birds and just capturing the beauty of the moment. I was so thankful to be out again on Lake Burley Griffin with my camera and, particularly on my first trip, the weather was lovely. I don’t have many shots below from my two trips but I hope that the pictures show some of the beauty that I saw and I hope that you enjoy them.

An immature White-bellied Sea Eagle flying along the Murrumbidgee River

An immature White-bellied Sea Eagle flew by making my morning - Photographing at Point Hut Crossing on Sunday, 28 April 2019

BirdsinCanberra May 3, 2019

I had driven over Point Hut Crossing a number of times on my way to Tidbinbilla National Park. I always wanted to stop one day to have a look around. That was how I found myself, at this crossing, on an autumn Sunday morning. Initially, I thought I had made a bad choice, as there did not seem to be much around in the way of birds or other life. Walking around I found some things of interest but no birds that made for a dramatic photograph. Towards the end of my time there an immature White-bellied Sea Eagle came soaring along the course of the Murrumbidgee River at tree-top level. I was on a small rise so I was effectively at eye-level with this graceful raptor. It was a beautiful moment that really made the morning for me. I hope you enjoy the photographs below.

Photographing at Red Hill Nature Reserve on Saturday, 13 October 2018 - Six Gang-gangs and a baby magpie

BirdsinCanberra October 20, 2018

The weather this Saturday was again not the best. There was a light, misty drizzle from the start, which did stop but the overcast conditions remained. The first location I went to had few birds and the cloud cover made it hard to take good photographs. I was thinking about returning home rather than keep walking but I persevered. I figured I would at least get to Red Hill Nature Reserve to see what I could find. The first photo below the map underneath this text gives an idea about the conditions on the day. I am glad I did keep going as I saw six Gang-gangs in one location, the most I have ever seen gathered together. Closer to Hughes I saw a magpie chick that was close to fledging. I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Photographing at Red Hill on Saturday, 6 October 2018 - nesting Gang-gangs and Wood Ducks

BirdsinCanberra October 7, 2018

I was not sure of the weather on Saturday morning but really wanted to photograph so I headed out under an overcast looking sky. The ambient light was initially not great but the sun broke through to create a wonderful sunny Canberra spring day. I was rewarded for my diligence as I believe I saw a tree hollow possibly being used by Gang-gang Cockatoos as well as a second tree hollow probably occupied by some nesting Australian Wood Ducks. The birdlife is becoming more abundant as the days warm up although I suspect it will still get better as there has not been an explosion of insect life yet, although the flowering plants will probably cause more invertebrates to emerge shortly.

Walking around the base of Black Mountain on Monday, 1 October 2018 - a Noisy Friarbird was calling

BirdsinCanberra October 1, 2018

At the base of Black Mountain there is a part of the Australian National Botanic Gardens that extends outside of the fence, so is open earlier than the rest of the garden. It is is the Bushland Nature Walk. A 1.2 km walk that roughly follows the contour of Black Mountain taking you to a sturdy viewing platform with a panoramic view looking east over Lake Burley Griffin and Canberra. There are also a number of information boards along the way explaining about the vegetation you are seeing. I had wanted to do this walk for a while and the public holiday presented the perfect opportunity. From the moment I started the walk there was so much birdlife. I saw Fairywrens, a Red Wattlebird and a Black-faced Cuckoo-shrike. It was a good harbinger of what was a very enjoyable walk through some lovely bushland on the edge of Canberra with a spectacular view at the end of it. If that walk had not been enough I decided to drive home via the western end of Lake Burley Griffin to see what birdlife was around, I thought I would practice using my car as a mobile hide. I am so glad I did as I was rewarded with the opportunity to take some photos of a richly coloured Sacred Kingfisher, a type of bird I really love but have not had a chance to photograph yet. I hope you enjoy these pictures as I really enjoyed taking them.

Practicing macro photography on European Honey Bees at Hughes on Saturday, 30 September 2018

BirdsinCanberra October 1, 2018

I wanted to expand my photography so, almost on a whim, I grabbed the camera and the tripod to wander around the garden in search of subjects for macro photography. My 40mm Canon lens has macro written on the side of it, although it is the standard lens that came with the camera about ten years ago when I bought my Canon EOS 100D. I started my attempts with some flowers, experimenting with shutter speeds and f-stops as well as an external flash. I was reasonable happy with the results, although I need to balance the flash and ambient light better. I thought it would be interesting trying some live subjects, the first of which I came across were some European Honey Bees who were visiting our front garden. Again, I did some experimentation but I was happy. with my initial foray into macro photography. I will need to keep practicing but I did enjoy looking at the smaller world around us.

Walking in Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve on Sunday, 29 September 2018 - hearing and seeing a Golden Whistler

BirdsinCanberra October 1, 2018

I dragged my poor, suffering son out again to join me in a walk along two of the trails at the lovely Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve, just south of Canberra. The two trails I chose were Cascades Trail and Lyrebird Trail, two connected trails in the west of the park, starting from Mountain Creek car park. Both trails meander through some very dense vegetation, and that Sunday’s nice weather had brought a few people out to the trails, so I was not able to photograph many birds. I was not too disappointed as I did get to photograph a Golden Whistler and just walking along the trails in the warm spring sunshine with my son really made my day.

Photographing where Yarralumla Creek meets Molonglo River on Sunday, 16 September 2018 - Ducks, Coot, Wattlebirds and a Fantail

BirdsinCanberra September 16, 2018

I often pass by the area where the Yarralumla Creek (link 2) flows into the Molonglo River just downstream from the Scrivener Dam. I have always been intrigued by the massive amount of erosion on the banks of the Yarralumla Creek, which is more a water control canal then a true creek, although parts of it look more natural then the concrete-sided water course a lot of people will be familiar with. I am glad I went to have a closer look, while the creek is very dirty the erosion does provide a good view of the soil in the area. I was also able to see some interesting birdlife including Pacific Black Ducks, Coot, Red Wattlebirds and even a Grey Fantail. I even just enjoyed sitting on the bank at the conflux of the water systems surrounded by reeds as the sun warmed the area.

Some of the water birds inside the sanctuary at Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve

A walk around Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve on Saturday, 1 September 2018

BirdsinCanberra September 3, 2018

Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve is a large national park about 30 minutes drive south of where I live. It is situated in a valley with the Tidbinbilla River running through it. I convinced my son to come with me on Saturday to go for a walk around the fenced-in sanctuary that sits in the middle of the reserve. This is a predator proof area centred on a wetlands habitat giving wild native fauna communities a chance to live without the threat of feral animals. The native fauna have the run of the sanctuary while humans are confined to well maintained paths. We had an enjoyable morning seeing so many wild birds, platypus and even a turtle. My son is not really into wildlife but agreed he would like to go back again, which is good as I bought an annual pass :-)

Looking for Gang-gang Cockatoos in Hughes on Sunday, 26 August 2018

BirdsinCanberra August 30, 2018

I have often seen a pair of Gang-gang Cockatoos in a group of trees on the way home from work, when I do not have my camera. We also once had a pair of Gang-gang Cockatoos come to our backyard feeder; on the day I was rushing to an appointment so I did not have a chance to get my camera to take any photographs. On this Sunday, I decided, since the weather was so nice, I would try to find the Gang-gang Cockatoos that seem to frequent this neighbourhood. I am glad I went out, as not only did I briefly find the Gang-gangs, I also captured a few other interesting sights with my camera. It was a lovely finish to the weekend.

A very obliging Black Swan who swam past me

A walk around the National Arboretum and Coombs on Sunday, 26 August 2018

BirdsinCanberra August 28, 2018

The weather was supposed to be atrocious but it ended up being a very nice day. I had wanted to wander around Barrer Hill in the National Arboretum as it I thought there may be some interesting things to see. On this Sunday, the clouds started to clear but they were replaced by a fog around the hill. Despite the weather conditions I found a number of birds, and even some kangaroos to photograph. I really enjoyed the morning and I hope you like the photographs.

A walk from the Yarralumla Equestrian Centre on Sunday, 19 August 2018

BirdsinCanberra August 19, 2018

The weather on Sunday, 19 August 2018 did not start out promising but improved as the morning went on. I had been wanting for a while to start a walk at the Yarralumla Equestrian Centre then cross over the Molonglo River into a pine plantation behind the National Zoo. On parking at the centre I was greeted immediately on leaving my car by some White-winged Choughs, which was a good omen as I always had birds around me. I could not always photograph them but they were enough to distract me for an extra hour when I should have been heading home. It was a lovely distraction that made a lovely start to a Sunday.

A female Pacific Black Duck on one of the sall waterholes at Aranda Bushland Nature Reserve

A walk around Aranda Bushland Nature Reserve on Sunday, 12 August 2018

BirdsinCanberra August 17, 2018

I hopped in my car for the 15 minute drive to the Aranda Bushland Nature Reserve. It was an easy trip as google maps had already given me an idea of how to get there. It was slightly cold when I started walking, which was not surprising as the starting point was labelled as a 'frost hollow'. However, the walk warmed up as the sun rose. The bush also started to come alive with birds. I really had a lovely few hours wandering around in this bush setting just on the verge of Canberra city itself.

One particular tree in Hughes on Saturday, 11 August 2018

BirdsinCanberra August 13, 2018

I was able to go for a Saturday morning walk today, I was trying to find Gang-gang cockatoos that I had seen over the last two days when I did not have my camera with me. Unfortunately, I was unsuccessful in my quest but I did come across a eucalyptus tree that had a number of different varieties of birds in it. There were Galahs, Crimson Rosellas, Eastern Rosellas, King-Parrots, Australian Magpies, Pied Currawongs and, of course, Noisy Miners. It was, as if this tree somehow had the the one source of sustainment that all these birds needed. I have begun to notice in my walks that often there is a single tree that seems to be the tree that attracts the most birds. With that in mind I can understand the challenge of forest conservation to not just preserve trees but to preserve those individual trees that have all the elements needed by birds.

A non-breeding male Superb Fairy-wren

A walk around Wanniassa Hill Nature Reserve on Sunday, 5 August 2018

BirdsinCanberra August 6, 2018

I was taking our green waste to the Mugga Lane Resource Management Centre early on Sunday morning, which I thought was the perfect excuse to then do some bird photography. I got going early so I could hit the Wanniassa Hill Nature Reserve while the morning light was still shining on it. Given the way the sun was coming up in the north-east I went to the north facing slope at the start to use the available light. The birdlife was a bit sparse initially, with some small wrens flitting from shrub to shrub while crows and parrots flew high overhead. I thought I had chosen the wrong place but eventually the birds came out in a way I was able to photograph. Below are the results.

A Masked Lapwing keeping me under a careful eye

Weston Park on Sunday, 29 July 2018

BirdsinCanberra July 29, 2018

Sunday's weather could not seem to decide what it was going to do. I really wanted to go out to take some photographs so I took a chance on how the weather, and therefore lighting, would pan out. The clouds kept covering the sun but every now and then there was enough light to make the trip to Weston Park in Canberra, worthwhile. Initially, as I wandered around the park, it seemed that the birdlife had gone somewhere else for the day. Sure, there were Australian Wood Ducks, Magpies, Magpie-larks, etc; the birds that you see everyday but there did not seem to be any other species of birds. That was until I found this one tree. I am not sure what it was about this tree but it seemed to attract a vast range of birds including Satin Bowerbirds, a Grey Fantail, Crimson Rosellas, etc; all within a space of 20 minutes. That was when the morning turned around, then I started seeing some birdlife. It was a lovely walk and I hope you enjoy the photos below.

A walk around Jerrabomberra Wetlands

BirdsinCanberra July 15, 2018

Canberra is a wonderful place to look at birds. The bush capital really does live up to its name. This is my second time living in Canberra with 20 years separating those two periods. I think the city thrives on the idea that the bush is never far away with the several bodies of water helping to sustain the city's wildlife. While Lake Burley Griffinis an artificial lake created by damming the Molonglo Riverin the 1960s it is rich in birdlife. The ACT government has also preserved an area of wetlands where people can wonder through on established paths to minimise their impact. For bird enthusiasts there are permanent hides at various locations. Even better, the wetlands never close so you can always access them, meaning an early morning photo trip on a chilly Autumn day is a real possibility. This post is to show case some of the photos I took recently on that trip. I hope you enjoy the photos.
