I've not taken many photos lately, too busy housebuilding and working, but took an hour off this morning to take a couple of subjects I've had in mind for a while. Both using 105mm Micro Nikkor.

Crested Pidgeon, strangely enough sitting on 2 eggs. I doubt anything will hatch, since the temperature has been so low recently (max 5.5C on Thursday) and I have seen the eggs unattended on occasion.

Red-necked Wallaby Joey, it seems to be comfy with its leg over its head :roll:

I like your pictures very much. How far away were you?
Cheers,

thanks :) for the pidgeon, maybe 30cm at a rough guess although I took some closer and some from further away, and about 1 metre for the wallaby.

The detail and sharpness in these are terrific, that first one really captures my attention......

Amazing that you can get so close to the wildlife.

Sensational pics. That wallaby is fantastic and cute as well.
