Never seen this beetle before but someone else said it is a Australian purple wood beetle. I am not sure if it is a correct ID so anyone who knows please let me know. It was photog…

I hope I have identified this fly correctly. This is a march fly or tabanid and is huge and to think that it can suck your blood with that long chainsaw of a mouth makes it quite s…

Went out into the bush to find some flowers to photograph and was not disappointed. Took awhile to identify these. Really starting to enjoy taking photos of flowers. These were tak…

We have a few of these but this one was stood out to me because of the bright green skin. They are called motorbike frogs because of the calls they make that sounds like a reffing …

Finally got Mr Bronze's trust to eat out of my hand. He is a Australian Bronzewing pigeon. Now if only the female wasn't so skittish. He sometimes does a little mating dance for th…

Western Australia ring-neck parrots up close. Shot near Pemberton. They came to eat every morning and was very friendly. ![20210811 Australian ringneck 11 HS Social.jpg](https://…

White Muscovy duck. Got really close to him so I thought it make a good detailed photo. ![20210811 White Muscovy duck 2 HS Social.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/hend…

Friendly wallaby at Pemberton. This little guy was relaxing most of the time. Cute but when we got close it growled like a dog. Never knew that was a thing with them. ![20210811 W…

Pine cone photos from Pemberton South West Australia. Not very exciting but I still like the way these look. ![20210811 Pine 1 HS Social.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-h…

Thought I would share this. It is a place in South West Australia where a river cuts into beach sand creating these interesting abstract shapes. ![20210811 Beach 3 HS Social.jpg](…

Latest portrait shots of a peacock male at wildlife reserve. He is fairly tame and allowed me to get within 5 meters. Wish I could get him showing the tail feathers properly but he…

Here is a few Lorikeets I took photos of over the course of the year. The colours are so vibrant on these. Not sure how to tell the males from the females because the feathers and …

Thought I would share one of our most friendly non skittish pigeon that comes to visit us everyday at home. He comes within half a meter from your hand so I would say we are almost…

Yellow shrubby daisybush flower close ups. I am trying my hand at taking photos of flowers. Photography is very interesting how you can have so many disciplines in it and so many s…

New techniques and settings I am using shooting macro. Hopefully looks a bit better than my previous ones. Not so super close so gives a more pleasing look that I like to see a bit…

I wanted to get more photos of it but was unable too. Poor caterpillar didn't stand a chance. Hornets and paper wasps like these love caterpillars to feed they're young. They will …

Australian pea flower photos. The yellow one is called eggs and bacon pea flower but I am unsure about the second one if anyone could let me know. ![20200917 Eggs and bacon pea f…

Took a few photos of garden orb weaver spiders. They are easy subjects because they sit still and don't move much. They also come in different colours and sizes. ![20201122 Orb we…
