I have been out of action for a while, so its been great to get out and take some photos.
I went to the Hunter Wetlands Centre at Newcastle (oz) yesterday and had a lil walk around the ponds. Here is what I came up with.

1. Magpie Goose

2. Australian White Ibis and chicks.

3. Great Egret - I think this is a breeding one because of the green on the face.

4. Red-browed Finch

There was also a pair of whistling kites circling up high but they were too far away for a decent shot..

cheers,
steve

    Steve...nice shots, but the first three look a little hot to me. I probably would have shot at -.3EV to contain the highlights...
