To date I have photographed around 250 species of Australian wildlife (including more than 220 species of birds!). All found and photographed in the wild over the last few years. click here to view the list of species Yet I consider myself a novice ‘birder’ and don’t even use binoculars to help me locate species. Recipe: research + petrol + walking + luck! (add in some flies, dust and corrugated roads for good measure) To me there are few things more satisfying than travelling and exploring new places then finding new species to add to my photo collection. Australia has such an amazing variety of wildlife out there! Our travels have included wetlands, coastal areas, mallee scrub, woodland and forests. Day trips or longer trips that can see us camping and ‘roughing it’ for a few days at a time. I love it – each trip is a bit of an adventure. I have a range of my wildlife images here on Redbubble, available as cards and prints for purchase. / click here to view above images and many more A portion of sales will be donated to wildlife conservation or rescue. If you see something on my other sites that you would like to see offered as a card, print or t-shirt here on Redbubble, drop me a line! Thanks for looking ~ and enjoy our wildlife!

Well now that was an amazing discovery! Mr. Sass had come to his usual spot and asked for his peanuts. SO missy and I went out and watched. Within a few minutes we noticed another blue jay less brightly colored in the fur tree. I at first thought it was another male, but then we heard the chirping of baby blue jays. So we have been blessed with an entire family of Stellar Blue jays. Mr. Sass, Mrs. Sass and their babies. We weren’t permitted to see the babies today but I assume with the next week we will start seeing the babies. I will post pics of the babies and mamma as soon as I capture them :) What a wonderful blessing

Birds of prey fascinate me. We often see them on road trips / soaring high in the sky, riding thermals, or sitting / on powerlines. Less often down at our level sitting on / fence posts or picking off road kill. There are often times we wished we werent conspicuous / or that our car was silent. Wild bird photography is / challenging and frustrating. These creatures are wild / and free, with the blink of an eye they can fly off / never to be seen again. So I actually consider myself / extremely fortunate to have photographed so many wild / birds over the last few years. This was probably the wildife highlight of my recent / weekend away – a young Brown Falcon had alighted / on a fence post. We stopped the car as we do but the / Falcon took off – as they tend to do. It alighted / on a fence post in the distance – rinse and repeat! / Let us try for third time lucky. With a quiet prayer/wish / asking the Falcon to stay a while I got out of the car / and crept around sticking close to the car. The Falcon / remained on the post with its eye on me, raised its / wings a bit as if it was about to take off but then / started preening. I walked slowly towards the Falcon but averting / my gaze and got to within 15…or maybe even 10 / feet of the bird! It remained on the post in / beautiful daylight with a backdrop of greenery, / blue sky and wattle. I was even able to move / a little and change angles without the bird / flinching. Hard to tell how many moments I got / with the bird but it was a magical experience / and I got numerous images before it flew off / and disappeared into the wide blue yonder.

Rain, and the weather slowly getting colder meant that this premiere had a bit of a smaller attendance from the public than usual. Having the speakers blast out the same three childrens songs for almost ninety minutes may have contributed, and the fact that actor Tom Hanks and Blake Lively (‘Gossip Girl’) were in the film but not at the premiere probably didn’t help either. / It’s a movie based on a kids book with less than 300 words of length. (And just think.. they can’t make the movie of the last Harry Potter book without turning it into two films). I haven’t read it, but the monsters look… big? / “Blake Lively isn’t coming to this thing? Then what the hell am I doing up here???” Yeah, disappointment was the order of the day. I got what satisfaction I could from knowing at least I had an umbrella the size of a small postcode to shelter under when the rain became too teeming. / Wireimage tells me she’s ‘Lizzie Cundy’ as if that’s meant to help. Still, if she’s willing to throw out a pose, I won’t say no… / Minor flooding on red carpet. Yeah.. that’s not ideal. On the plus side, it kept crowd numbers down (I’m not generally an optimist, but anything short of meteor strikes and locust plagues that keeps crowd numbers down is generally a good thing) (the carpet had a plastic covering that was removed at the last minute) / Oh, look it’s… umm…. You know, I’m kind of stumped as to why they didn’t get a couple of people in larger monster costumes (as opposed to merely masks) to show up to this thing… / He’s Matthew Lewis, who plays Neville Longbottom in the Harry Potter films and is the only red carpet celeb I recognised today. Not that this is necessarily a slur on him or the other celebs… but still. / The older dude is director Spike Jonze, who also directed the Charlie Kaufman works ‘Being John Malkovich’ and ‘Adaptation’, and was an actor in ‘The Game’ and ‘Three Kings’. I might have thought about getting his autograph, in retrospect. / The kid, meanwhile, is called ‘Max Records’. I have no idea as to his acting credentials, but that name? Is awesome… I believe he’s the kid on the movie poster, and hence in the film. / Clearly, I have a way with kids… (either me, or the dude with the Nikon D80 next to me who was, like most of the population of London, leaching off the coverage area afforded by my umbrella) / One of the Paps referred to the calibre of tonight’s celebrity turnout as “z-grade”. (Come on… MAX! RECORDS!) Anyway, here is a photo of the Paps whose job it is to photograph z-grade celebrities with their own brand of gusto. (For me? It’s just a hobby! No, really…) / Please enjoy tonight’s edition of ‘is he the one who’s famous, or is she?’. I’ve never seen either before, if that helps… (scroll down for answer) / No idea who… but surely you can’t argue with the needlecraft in the knitting? / English model (if wikipedia says it, I won’t judge) and celebrity daughter Georgia May Jagger showed up. My heart rate remained unchanged. My camera’s performance was sluggish this evening, which might have said something. / “But wait / what celebrity through yonder carpet walks / It is the North / and Yellow Cap Guy is the compass” Thank you, and goodnight! So that was another one for The Archive of Movie Premieres and if nothing else, it adds to the count! The last couple of premieres: / The Lovely Bones – Peter Jackson! Charles and Camilla! / Me & Orson Welles – Zac! Efron! Eee! And Claire Danes! / We are the people we’ve been waiting for -The Fonz Dissed Me!! / Harry Brown : Michael Caine! Until next time, consider buying a calendar: it’s almost the end of the year. Sure, you could buy anybody’s, but you could also buy mine! / / (yeah, I’ve kind of sold out… let’s never mention it again) Answer to tonight’s edition of ‘is he famous, or is she?’ : She is. Her name is Isabella Calthorpe and she’s a model and actress (she’s appeared in “How to Lose Friends and Alienate People”). Hmmm.. that might almost be worth a second photo… / According to wikipedia, she’s not just a model-actress, but also an aristocrat: full name Isabella Amaryllis Charlotte Anstruther-Gough-Calthorpe. She… should probably think about donating some of those middle names to people who truly need them.
