These books were written for children but ideal for all, telling about the 75 different species of birds found in the Dandenong Ranges. Click here.
If you’re a regular attendee to my market stall in Monbulk, you won’t have seen everything, just a selection of items I have available for sale. Not only do I do calendars, jigsaw puzzles, mugs, postcards, books and playing cards, but there are many other things available too. At my RedBubble Shop I have tote…
I was reading a post in a birding forum on Facebook and the poster had shared she’d used the P950 and was just learning bird photography. Lots of discussion, people making suggestions and so on. I thought I’d share with them about my experience, and here is what I said: Noting the post re using…
I’ve taken on a new challenge, spurred on by another bird photographer, to see how many different species of birds I can photograph this year. I’ve created a page for it and will probably have to do a page a month as they will get long in themselves – assuming I get photos of different…
Went out to feed my chickens and thought I’d wander down to the paddock, just to see if there was anything worth seeing. I had my camera with me – I always do and so glad I did! I saw movement in a tree branch, only very slight and whatever was there, was quite small….
Walking with Purpose – what does it mean to you? Had an interesting chat with a friend today, as we walked around Birdsland. She is used to walking faster than I, to help with her fitness, whereas I’m used to walking slower, building up my steps for the day, but also taking in what’s around…
I was walking at Birdsland Reserve yesterday and watching some Blue-banded bees, so was standing still, camera focused towards the ground, when a cyclist came to a screeching halt, sliding on the path nearby and then turned his bike and rode down the path towards me. He’d seen a ‘spiny anteater’ and wanted to tell…
I’ve been getting a few questions about this so thought I’d share a post on it. I’ve been using the P950 for 3 years now, having bought it at a Black Friday sale in November 2020. I’d done research, read reviews, even got to test a P1000 that someone had before the purchase and was…
Almost mid November – not long before Christmas now. I still have calendars available, both the Dandenong Ranges ones and the Birds of the Dandenong Ranges. I have one market left on Saturday 9th December, however it’s possible my stocks will be low then – don’t leave it too late! Some interesting facts that you…
Most amazing thing happened today at Birdsland Reserve. I was watching two Spotted Pardalotes dancing in the air and flitting from tree to tree. Then they dive bombed towards the lake, both hitting the water. One flew off but the other couldn’t, it tried really hard and kept moving along, then stopping and panting,…
When I was young, in my early teens, my uncle would show me his camera and some of the photography he’d been doing. I was very interested in what he could do with his camera. So much so, that on my 14th birthday, my parents gave me my very first camera. It was a Kodak…
That time of year again! The next year’s calendars are on the printing press as I share this news and will be available this coming Saturday at the Monbulk Market. As was the case last year, I produced two different calendars – one with scenes from the Dandenong Ranges, the other totally focused on birds…
Since my last post I’ve documented 3 more species. I’m now at 199 species I’ve seen and recorded on the eBird app, since I really got into it seriously around 2 years ago. The latest is a Horsfield’s Bronze Cuckoo – a tiny little bird and its call is not at all what I thought…
