Deserving cases find places

Male Rufous Whistler (Pachycephala rufiventris) takes in the morning sun.

Themes running in recent posts left some deserving pictures with no place to go. So, here's a place for them.

Black-necked Stork (Ephippiorhyncus asiaticus) kicks up the mud as she lifts off.


Female Shining Flycatcher (Myiagra alecto) perches in the rainforest.

Dragonfly (Diplacodes haematodes) takes a rest.

  4. Denis, Mick, Mosura:

    Thanks all. Would probably have used Shining earlier, but focus was a bit too soft. Wee oversharpen gave it some glow.

    The whistler was particularly unworried by my presence. Sadly, even at 7am the light was too harsh.
