This is just a collection of images with a very quick 'loose' edit to show some of the water birds of Australia. I am aware that a couple of the shots are a bit 'staggered' and there are a few focus issues. I just thought you all may like to see some of our nature spots here around Canberra Australia. I think I have two or three really good shots in all these, some average and some below par.....but it was a great exercise.
Advice to all....wear a hat in the sun, take PLENTY of water and sunscreen.....and a machine gun for the mosquitoes!! DON'T carry an old wooden legs Miller tripod on your back for 5 kilometers in street shoes.... Also DON'T attempt to film pissed off bees.....

The music is by Tribe World Ensemble and features: Arthur Kills Straight Putnam [Earthsongs] on Native American Cedarwood Flute. Rebbecca Lloyd on silver flute, Bill Hall on guitars and bass, Sweet Affair [string section] and David Pendragon on keyboards and atmospheres. The didgeridoo is Warren 'Didg' Gunther.
I recorded all the music at 'The Studio' [Canberra]
The nature sound you hear with the black swan is 'off camera' and is the sound of the environment itself.
