I started photography and bird watching at about the same time. I remember the Eastern Spinebill I snapped at Gooloo Creek Wildflower Farm and an image of an unidentified plant later I found out it was a type of wild olive.
Not long after this, I stalked an Eastern Whipbird for at least half an hour. This morning I heard the unmistakable call of Male and Female Whipbirds. The long drawn out whistle of the male followed by the crack of the female. On investigation, I was fortunate to see both male, female and a juvenile. Boy, was I excited they were out of the undergrowth and easily photographed. I found my camera then tiptoed to a good vantage to snap this shy bird.
Patience is a virtue and it has its own rewards. How blessed am I that I can devote time to two things I enjoy immensely photography and birding.
Very happy with the result.
