Beautiful Rainbow Lorikeets become lockdown photography models - Lockdown photography, August 2021

BirdsinCanberra August 27, 2021

The COVID-19 related Lockdown continued in Canberra and it was a necessary step to keep the population safe. However, it was still a weird time, trying to work from home but not really being able to, but not being able to leave home when the weather was great for photography. I also felt guilty if I was away from my computer during the day and therefore not doing the office work but as a counter I figured that I no longer had to commute to work so that time now became my time to look for photography subjects in our garden. I was fortunate of an afternoon because things happened around the garden. The previous post had some lovely Gang-gang Cockatoos that flew in on one day and for this post some vivacious Rainbow Lorikeets dropped by to provide colour and noise to our locked-down home. These wildly coloured birds that remind me of wonderful, youthful summers in Sydney really made my day. I hope that you like the photographs below.

Honeyeaters, Rufous Whistler and a multitude of small birds - Photographing at Paddys River on Sundays, 6 and 13 September 2020

BirdsinCanberra September 25, 2020

While I have visited where Paddys River meets the Cotter River, I have only ever driven across the bridge over Paddys River further upstream on my way to Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve but never given a thought to stopping there. So I decided it was time to stop at that bridge to explore that area underneath it to see what animals there were. In the end, I visited the area over two successive weekends because I found so much of interest. I was focussed more on the birds but there was other life around, all of which will make me include this location on my regular visit list. It was so tranquil yet so full of life with different species of honeyeaters, and so many small birds whirling around me. Plus there was the reassuring gurgle of Paddys River flowing past me on both visits.

Purple Swamphen chicks, parrots and other great wildlife enjoying the green from the rain - photographing around Canberra in January to March 2020

BirdsinCanberra April 4, 2020

The start of the year felt very busy, I was out and around Canberra but I did not seem to have much time. I was out photographing but I could not find the time to process and organise the photographs I had taken so I ended up with a lot of photos and no blog posts. Although I do not like composing long posts that cover several photographic trips I thought that would be the best way to allow me to publish the photographs below. There are a mix of photographic styles and subjects from various parts of Canberra with a number of different subjects. Some of these were captured while I was out specifically looking for photographic subjects, others were shot while I was out doing other things but had taken my camera with me. There are a number of birds and other animals below. I really enjoyed photographing the Purple Swanphens, even if they are common birds. I was also happy to photograph the Australian King-parrots that visited my garden because they are truly beautiful birds.

A Black-faced Cuckoo-shrike having a feed and my first Olive-backed Oriole of the season - Photographing around Red Hill Nature Reserve on Saturday, 14 September 2019

BirdsinCanberra September 27, 2019

Red Hill Nature Reserve was absolutely beautiful in the early Spring sunshine. The weather was some of the nicest Canberra has had for a long time. The birdlife was starting to come alive with some visitors coming back and birds turning their attention to breeding. I did not get far that morning as I was enjoying myself, yet again, among the trees on the slope that faces the southwest. I watched a Weebill hop around some branches. I also enjoyed more pardalotes and a female Golden Whistler. It was a lovely Spring morning photographing some beautiful birds. I hope you like the photographs below.

Laughing Kookaburras at tree hollows, ducklings and Eurasian Coots mating; spring is almost here - Photographing at Red Hill Nature Reserve on Saturday, 31 August 2019

BirdsinCanberra September 8, 2019

Red Hill Nature Reserve was the location for my usual walk although, I went through the Federal Gold Club so I could then follow the path along the southern side of Red Hill, about half way up. I was distracted by the birdlife before I got to where I was going but I was not upset, the birds were too beautiful not to photograph. I enjoyed getting some shots of Laughing Kookaburras, a quintessential Australian bird with its mismatching blue and brown. The fact that the kookaburras were looking at hollows was even more exciting. I also saw a pair of coots mating. Just a wonderful way to start a weekend. I hope you like the photographs below.

Two Red-rumped Parrots at the frozen pond

Red-rumped Parrots, Sulphur-crested Cockatoos, Crested Pigeons; the birdlife around a frozen pond - Photographing at Campbell Park on Sunday, 23 June 2019

BirdsinCanberra July 3, 2019

Campbell Park was on my revisit list. I visited the area on the last day of December in 2018. Ever since then I had been thinking of heading back, with this Sunday providing the perfect opportunity. The weather was still cold, as testified by one of the ponds having a thin ice cover. I thought I had visited the location at the wrong time of the year because there were not many birds around but arriving at another pond showed me there was still a lot of birds to see, including the ever beautiful Red-rumped Parrots as well as the majestic Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoos. I hope you enjoy the photographs below.

A group of Gang-gang Cockatoos in a tree are a great start to the day - Photographing at Red Hill Nature Reserve on Saturday, 22 June 2019

BirdsinCanberra July 2, 2019

Red Hill Nature Reserve once again beckoned me. There were a number of birds that are always around, including a group of Gang-gang Cockatoos in one tree. This mini flock included some immature birds. Not far away Grey Butcherbirds called across the landscape, marking their presence. While none of the birds I saw this morning were exotic or rare I thoroughly enjoyed watching them. Later that day, Yerrabi Track at Namadgi National Park was the goal for my son and I. We walked along the track to the top of the Boboyan Trig Point. The walk was a lovely way to spend the morning. I was not able to photograph any birds but I enjoyed the scenery. I hope you enjoy the photographs below.

A Grey Butcherbird with its prey, fog and a myriad of photographic subjects - A weekend photographing around Red Hill Nature Reserve, 11-12 May 2019

BirdsinCanberra May 16, 2019

This was not quite the weekend I had planned. I went out on Saturday morning for my usual walk, this time going to the Hughes-Garran area, particularly the woodland. There had been rain overnight so the ground was wet, the sky was still a bit overcast and temperature a little cool. I had then planned to go for a short hike later that day with my son in Tidbinbilla National Park but we were having car problems so we ended up having a very nice hike over Red Hill Nature Reserve. The next day, again, because of car issues, I returned to Red Hill, which was covered in fog, with a light frost as well, for a walk there. The fog stayed for my whole walk and for most of the day. In the end, I spent my whole weekend wandering over Red Hill Nature Reserve, which was not a bad way to spend a weekend. The conditions were not great for photography, especially of birds, so there are plenty of pictures below of subjects that are not birds. I hope you do not mind and enjoy the photographs.

Photographing around Callum Brae Nature Reserve on Sunday, 3 March 2019 - A large group of Crested Pigeons and finding elusive Striated Pardalotes

BirdsinCanberra March 7, 2019

On Sunday, 3 March 2019, I headed to the always interesting, and generally quiet, Callum Brae Nature Reserve, just a short drive from my home. I always enjoy this nature reserve. I started by walking along the path that leads south-west from the entrance gate. I had not taken that path for a while so I was interested to see what life was around. All the vegetation was still dry, with the ponds I saw still very low. There were still a number of birds and animals around, including the most Crested Pigeons I have seen in one location and a group of three to four foxes. I hope you enjoy the photographs below.

The two Gang-gang Cockatoo nestlings

Photographing around Red Hill on Saturday, 12 January 2018 - Gang-gang nestlings and a juvenile Dollarbird

BirdsinCanberra January 13, 2019

This morning the walk around Red Hill Nature Reserve was even more special than usual as JackyF had sighted Gang-gang Cockatoo nestlings during the week. This was great news because Gang-gangs are picky breeders who have had many of their nesting spots destroyed when the large eucalyptus trees were removed around Canberra. Red Hill is a location they have used in the past for nesting so this sighting of nestlings is confirmation of a successful breeding season. We now all have our eyes open for other nestling sitings around Red Hill. I was also fortunate to see a juvenile Dollarbird on Red Hill. I hope you enjoy the photos.

The Rainbow Lorikeet pair looking at something that caught their interest

Photographing at Callum Brae Nature Reserve on Wednesday, 2 January 2019 - A Rainbow Lorikeet pair and butterflies

BirdsinCanberra January 9, 2019

This blog post is out of order with the one immediately preceding it as I wanted to record my sightings on Red Hill Nature Reserve as quickly as possible and then post them to Canberra Nature Map to help out with noting the wildlife on the hill.

You may notice the colour tones of this post are a little different to past posts. I use the very powerful Adobe Lightroom for my post-processing. I have learnt how to use it by watching YouTube videos. Some of the advice has been fantastic but other advice, I have learnt from experience, is not suitable for me. In the past, based on advice from a YouTube video, I always used Camera Landscape as my basic profile in Lightroom. I have now decided that is not the best profile, so I have switched Camera Faithful, which I think works better. I am sticking with the camera profiles as the consensus seems to be Canon cameras have a larger colour palette than Adobe so it is better to use that as the base profile rather that the adobe options.

Moving to the actual day, I always enjoy visiting Callum Brae Nature Reserve although on this day I felt the birdlife was already in hiding because of the heat. By 9 AM the mercury was already over 26º Celsius. The weather did not bother me as I had a wonderful time photographing a pair of beautiful Rainbow Lorikeets. I then got a little distracted by insects while I was following a dry creek towards some dams where I hope to find birds. I spent too long with the insects so I had to cut my plans short. That seems to happen a lot with me, but I have fun no matter what happens to my original plan. I hope you enjoy the photographs.

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.

Photographing around Hughes on Saturday, 22 September 2018 - Gang-gangs and nesting Galahs

BirdsinCanberra September 23, 2018

I was busy in the morning so I was unable to go out for my usual walk but I was able to head out after lunch for a quick photographic stroll. I decided to head to a small patch of trees and shrubs where I was told there were nesting Gang-gang Cockatoos. I did not see any nesting Gang-gangs but I did see three of them as well as some nesting Galahs, some mischievous ravens, grazing White-winged Choughs and a juvenile Superb Parrot high up in a tree. Considering I did not go far that afternoon I was really happy with what I saw. I hope you like the photographs.

Morning walk on Friday, 6 July 2018

BirdsinCanberra July 22, 2018

I took the day off work to carry out some personal errands, which also gave me an excuse to walk back from Phillip. I took my camera with me as I was walking in the morning so I was hopeful I would be able to take photos of the birds I encountered along the way. It was a windy morning with clouds blowing across the sun but I was still able to take some photos. The light could have been better but it was not too bad. I found some more Satin Bowerbirds as well as a flock of Sulphur-crested Cockatoos, who I sat and watched for a little while.

Morning walk on Saturday, 30 June 2018 - pigeons and rosellas

BirdsinCanberra July 22, 2018

I had a quick walk on Saturday morning, 30 June 2018, as I had a few things to do that day. I decided not to walk too far but to stay in the park nearby so that I could use the good available light to try to capture some good quality. My timing over the last few weeks has been terrible so I tend to shoot photos in bad light meaning my ISO is always 1600 or higher so there is often a lot of noise in the picture. I had also been watching videos about how to use Adobe Lightroom so I figured a few good photos would help me learn. I think I did well with the photo at the head of this post. These two Crested Pigeons nicely posed on the above-street power line for me, giving me a nice photo. My wife titled it 'Dispute.' Just after this photo was taken, first one, then the other flew down to the ground directly below their perching location to feed on the grass.
