Wandering Whistling Ducks and a couple from last week

A few more from this morning. The dead stalks in the lake are beginning to clear but there is still enough to prevent clear shots.

I forgot to post these from last week.

4. Sacred Kingfishers

5. Comb-crested Jacana. They are surprisingly small birds; much smaller than you would expect from the photo.

Wonderful shots. I especially like the one of the two Kingfishers.

Thanks David

The two kingfishers is a fabulous shot. All are excellent Alan. Do you know the name of the tune the whistling ducks are performing?

[wigz]

Thanks Isac, "Five little ducks" I think, but they were a rather disorganised. I only got the three, two and one verses

I like that both kingfishers look sharp, good effort. The Comb-crested Jacana is a weird looking thing. Only seen one in my travels, at Parry's Lagoon just out of Wyndham.

Thanks. Both kingfishers are sharp because it's a composite. They weren't quite in the same plane of focus.

The Jacanas are fairly common around her in small numbers. Usually one or two in each suitable lake.
