Black Breasted Buzzard

Posted on September 18, 2011September 17, 2011 by Kathie

I visited the “Spirits of the Sky” Flight Show at Healesville Sanctuary on Saturday and managed to get some shots of some amazing birds. This is a Black Breasted Buzzard, which had just been given something to eat. Note its amazing wingspan. It flew right over our heads and delighted the crowd.

When visiting Healesville Sanctuary recently I got to watch the pelicans being fed.

Posted on March 25, 2011 by Kathie

As we made our way around Healesville Sanctuary the other day we came across the wetlands area. It had duck weed or similar growing right across the top of the water. Looked strange for this lone duckling to be making its way across the top slowly.

Something caught the attention of this dingo who had been sleeping on the rock when I first walked up to the enclosure at Healesville Sanctuary.

For my US friends who read this blog, thought you might like this pic. It was busy sleeping, as Koalas do during the day.
