Hot Balyang

October 11, 2013 by Jade Craven Leave a Comment

Today I’m picking up my other boyfriend from kinder! 🙂 We are going to look at photos of adventures and have pizza, which is a sometimes food.

We also went on an adventure on Wednesday. They came over and we’d agreed to briefly go to Balyang. It was a stinking hot day and the birds had different behaviour.

Obligatory Swamp Hen shot. Glenns camera is so much better then mine when it comes to showing movement. They make these shots look almost artistic, sort of like a painting. It’s awesome because everything is just set on auto.

These two ducks were in a cranky mood, chasing every other duck away. I’m hoping it means there will be baby duckies soon!

In contrast, these ducks were like ‘chill out, dude.

There was a willy wagtail – ‘nans favourite bird!’ picking up bits of twigs to, hopefully, make a nest.

I loved getting photos of this cockatoo. The way the sun was shining through his feathers. I actually took Glenn through ALL of the Drysdale photos to show him examples of the suns going through feathers, as he often skimmed over the shots which didn’t fit his vision.

That is the first Heron I have ever seen in my LIFE! Seth said, upon seeing the bird below.

It was a fun trip. The seagulls where diving under the water and fluffing out their wings. All the birds were behaving a little bit different. Nothing knocked off the list, but that wasn’t the purpose. It was showing an interest in something the little dude loves.
