Using the P950 and Birding
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 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…

Commended in Australian Photographer of the Year 2022
Late last year I was advised I’d been shortlisted for the Australian Photographer of the Year. Today I received a certificate for being Commended in the Animal & Nature Category for my portfolio of 4 photos: Mother and Joey Special Times. I took these photos at Lysterfield Lake last year when showing a photographer friend…

Thought it was time to update my website and give it a new look for a new year. I hope you like it and find it easy to get around. On the right side of the screen you’ll see some new items, including my bird collection list – birds I have been able to see…
A New Year Begins
And so, 2023 has begun! Looking over the past year, for me it’s been a major year of birding. I was re-introduced to the eBird app earlier in 2022 and this time it really clicked. I’d first used it in 2017 – twice, and then promptly forgot about it. But last year, I began to…
A tale of 4 turtles
A tale of 4 turtles and two teenage larrikin birds. At Birdsland Reserve this week. There were once 4 turtles, two each on two logs, minding their own business, enjoying the morning sunshine. Along came two teenage water fowl, intent on some mischief. They spied the first two turtles and then the other two,…
Exploring Birdsland Reserve
Exploring Birdsland Reserve, Belgrave Heights, Vic. It’s my favourite walking spot. Flanked by a state park and farmland, it consists of two lakes, one with an island, and walking/cycling tracks and wildlife – lots of birds, kangaroos, the occasional echidna or wombat, some turtles and, hopefully, platypuses too – waiting to see those after considerable…
My fav images for 2021
I know I haven’t blogged as often over the past couple of years but I am still out taking photos nearly every single day of the year, and have been for quite some time. I am still in love with my Nikon P950 and it is the camera that I carry with me 95% of…
A Gift So Rarely Appreciated
The title of this post came via my husband’s cousin, Dianne. We were having a chat online after she’d commented on some macro photography I’d recently done. She’d commented that I had a very keen and natural eye for detail and I’d responded that I am constantly amazed how people totally miss what’s around them,…
