Love Birds


I saw this pair of Rock dove (feral pigeon) while walking along Coogee Coastal Walk, 8km from Sydney CBD.

Kissing is not unique to human lovers. This act is called “billing“. Where the female pigeon, put her beak inside the beak of the male pigeon. Note the female pigeon is the one with orange coloured eyes.

Mating… The male is on top. He flapped his wings while copulating…

Is this a celebration dance for successfully passing on his genes?

Size does not matter


The stare of death!

Dare you take me on little fella?

Sting like a bee! Float like a butterfly…

I am taking you on big lad…

Gotcha!

Victory is sweet… Size does not matter.

Commentary

The smaller bird is a noisy miner, the bigger bird is a pied currawong.

Life is imperfect, even the birds have a dispute. How do you managed conflict in life? Do you pick a fight like the noisy miner? Or do you smile and walk away?

Birdwatching at Yeramba Lagoon NSW


I made full use of my weekend off going birdwatching at Yeramba Lagoon. My house mate came along for fishing at Georges River National Park. Yeramba Lagoon is about 40 minutes drive from Randwick. We arrived just before 7am.

 

I have with me my small Canon 350D and a nice Canon 100-400L IS lens. Hand held with no tripod or monopod, as I am still finding it difficult to managed my monopod while birding.

 

The is a trek around the lagoon, I decided to walk anticlockwise so that the sun is behind me in the first half of the trek to maximize my chance of getting some good photos. Trekking was not as straight forward as I thought, as there are too many junctions and some part of the trek are not clear. Good sign that not many people walking through this area. I met one other person during the 2 hours walking and photographing.

 

Yeramba Lagoon

Lots of vegetation in the lagoon.

Eurasian Coot

This Eurasian Coot (Fulica Atra) caught my eyes.

Building Nest

Why is he moving a leave?

Baby Eurasian Coot

Obviously is for this cute little fella. A baby Eurasian Coot.

Feeding time

Feeding time…. Keeping this young one alive is not easy.

Hehe… Nature’s miracle. Eurasian coot walk on water too. I am converted!

HardHead

I think this duck is called a Hardhead, Aythya Australis. Australian only diving duck. Too bad I did not know about this fact, and did not sit around to see him diving.

All in all… it was a nice break from the busy hospital work.
