Brown Goshawk launches to latch onto early lunch

Brown Goshawk launches from open perch on way to grabbing unidentified insect from patch of leucaena in Cape Pallarenda Conservation Park this morning.

Luck with me because bird dropped onto low perch to start ripping into prey.

Feeding continued on higher branch of nearby tree after bird decided I'd got too close.

Earlier, bit of uncommon colour on roughly cleared foredune with eight Galahs feeding on fallen terminalia nuts. First sighting for me of species at the park.  

 

Little Kingfisher featuring in previous post finally stopped teasing me and sat still at roadside culvert pool in Town Common, Townsville, today. 

Luck continued later on with Rufous Fantail presenting out in the open - best posing I've had from the species in about 15 years.

Rainbow Bee-eater rounded out happy morning.

Look sharp about all the noise for Denoise

You must try Topaz Denoise! After being told by so many so often, I have.  On a free trial. Which proved trickier to set up, as these things too often are.

Anyway. The results? Noisy shots. Noise gone. Great. But good shots without noise don't become great. The Topaz sharpening tools don't work any magic. (Watermark part of free trial)

Forced to use high ISOs? Topaz does trick. Looking for magic on already good shots? Dream on!
