While on a drive around the south west of Phuket, we stopped at the
Kata View Point
to enjoy the view.
Some locals were there, with some tame sea hawks and sea eagles.

They referred to the one shown above as a "sea hawk", but after some research, I think it
may be an Osprey.

I was trying to get closer to these stilts, but they didn't appreciate my
approach, and flew off in the opposite direction. However, I managed
to get this shot as they flew off.
I like the colour gradient in the water, and the reflection of the birds
on the ripples is particularly interesting.

This seagull was snapped near the Barrack Street jetty in Perth, Western Australia, while on an early-morning photoshoot with a colleague.
I particularly like the colours and texture of the wooden post that the bird is standing on.

Some ducklings on the grass in Kings Park.
We were having a picnic dinner on the grass, and some of the ducks were eating the bread crumbs
from right next to the kids. They weren't scared of people at all.

Taken in South Perth, while on an early morning photo shoot with some colleagues.
As it was a clear morning, the blue sky has been reflected in the water, giving the water a blue sheen.

Our first batch of baby Gouldian finches ventured out of the nest last week.
Here's one of the young baby Gouldian finches.
