Its Shelley here, and I am a crazy bird photographer. I love watching the sunrise at my favourite spot in Mandurah, Western Australia. I love my family and this special little dog, who I sometimes spend time with.
I can think nothing better to do than spending a morning photographing the local birds at the Mandurah estuary, when I am not traveling elsewhere. Birds I enjoy observing and photographing include Eastern Ospreys, Egrets, oh Pelicans Pelicans and cannot forget the gorgeous fairy-wrens, see my image below "Splendid fairy-wren, female and male in blue."
Early image taken on misty morning of the Great Egret fishing.
Eastern Osprey emerging from the water after bathing. Just love photographing their behaviour which is so varied, such as fishing, bathing, fighting with the White-bellied Sea-eagles, fantastic aerial flight manoeuvres and diving dramatically into the water fully submerging and hold your breath as they emerge with their snack.
