Hopefully over time it will improve even more. We are lucky that our property adjoins other properties with owners who also have left a lot of their land as is. It really is one of those things though, you have to look to see things. My husband jokes that he is the one who finds all of the interesting critters and I get the credit as I have photographed them! It is a team effort and one we both love of discovering new wildlife in our own patch of bushland. Thanks for your comment, glad you have had a chance to visit the local area also - I'll have another look at your photos.

You are blessed to live in such a wonderful area and it's so wonderful that you are part of the Land for Wildlife organisation!<br />We love the area where you live. We recently drove out that way so I could do some rural shooting and to see the falls.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17541748309832254889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5126327622898302005.post-46221479401456330912014-07-11T15:42:31.070+10:002014-07-11T15:42:31.070+10:00Hi Stewart, Thanks for your comment - I agree they...Hi Stewart, Thanks for your comment - I agree they are a beautiful bird, These two photos are the only ones that turned out reasonably well from the short time I saw this bird at our place, so I was relieved to get them.
