The Beak.

The difference in the size of their beaks at rest to fully open is quite amazing, and they are reasonably graceful when flying.

River Boats.

This is close to the oyster farm where they'd taken over and blocked off one entire arm of the river!

Oyster Thingies...

I'm not sure what these are used for, but they were down at the oyster farm.

Pelican Pics.

These guys would have to be one of my favourite birds.

Trio.

Their beaks are amazing .......

Stick Fishing.

I watched this fella scoop the stick out of the water, then start playing with it.

Broom Or Two.

I just like it ......

Misty Morning.

Yes, it was cold as well!!

Cotton Pickin' Minute.

We drove through many, many miles of cotton fields .......

Crimson Rosella.

Aren't they magnificent colours on these birds?

Morning Contrails.

This is a very busy flight area around here.

Hooligan .....

...... of the bird world. These Galahs are so serious when they're hunched over eating, but they're entertaining to watch fooling around. Farmers don't like them as they eat much of the seed they've just sown.

Another Tree.

The dead trees around here have so much character, and look great against the blue sky.

Morning Light.

Dawn in Australia has such a beautiful light.

B & W Bald Tree.

A little experiment here, I quite like this in black & white as well as coloured.
