Pied Cormorant

I snapped this Pied Cormorant drying his wings after diving.  I was watching him floating on the wetlands, then he dips his head and sinks from view, only to reappear some time later in a different spot altogether, just like a Grebe does.

Flying Ducks

When I go birdwatching down at Linear Park in Adelaide, I point my camera at any bird that looks about to fly - I love the freedom symbolised in their flight.  This week I was lucky enough to snap two ducks in flight; it is now an automatic reflex to press the button as soon as a bird takes off in the hope of catching a great shot.  I did!  Notice that beautiful irridesence on the wings.
