How about this cheeky fellow. He sat on the wing mirror so I managed this with the 105 macro



I finally managed to get a dragonfly at rest.

To top off the day there was a red shouldered canon weilding Wazza




All in all a good day out,

Great Shots Colin

Love the grasshopper

Cheers Cobby

one and three are great

Wow Colin - I really like these shots
The first is a red wattle bird, and a nice shot too !! Would have been nice to have a little more of the bird in the frame - even a little more of the shoulder would have been good, but I still like it the way it is
Damo just got all excited when he saw your dragonfly shot - it is a Petalura gigantea, or the south-eastern petaltail. These guys are BIG, classified as 'very large to enormous dragonflies'
The hopper shot is nice too - illustrates beautifully the developing wings (this is a juvenile)
And as for that last shot - priceless

love the dragonfly shot ... 1 leg missing

Thanks all,
It was a rather large dragonfly and I think it was on its last legs, as it were.
Very placid for one of these. Ta for the ID.

Here are a couple of the wattle bird that have not been cropped Rel,
They were taken from as far back as I could lean in the seat

That last shot is awesome
What wildlife
And thanks for cloning in the bald spot!

Colin,

Great images. I agree with Rel on the first, it would have been nice to have a bit more of the bird. The background is great.

Fantastic detail on the dragonfly. They are quick buggers. Lucky yours was resting.

I like the grasshopper the most. Great muted colours.

A very refined wildlife in the mountains
