2018 Bird Photos

Last Post

I enjoyed doing this VERY casual year. I posted images of my 'best' shots for 2018 here: http://andrewallenphotography.blogspot.com/2018/12/bird-photos-from-2018.html

I missed photographing some very common species, mostly through lack of even trying. But that was what I intended, so I'm not worried at all.

I was thinking of only blogging 'five star' photos for 2019, with an overall goal of 100 species. So far I have none, again from lack of effort, but also because there are just too many gorgeous insects about for me to find and photograph that the birds have taken a bit of a back seat for now....

#180 and #181 at Woodlands Historic Park, Vicotria, Australia, November 5 2018

I found two regular but uncommon summer visitors to Woodlands, and as per usual, they were up the top of a tall tree and refused to have a nice photo taken!

#180 White-winged Triller

#181 Pallid Cuckoo

#179 in Kealba, Victoria, Australia, October 29 2018

I often hear greenfinch around home. They sit on the power lines and make their harsh calls. Usually they fly away as soon as you aim a camera at them. This one was a slight exception to that rule. It sat for about half a second before it took off. At least I got a crappy photo!
