Day 134: ...call of the wild
Bit of a wildlife theme here at the moment dear reader. After a long day at the desk, I thought it was time to go out and get some fresh air. The rallying squawks of the noisy miners are always a sure sign something is about out the back. This time, 'twas a friendly kooka...not the kooka known as Dylan, but a smaller, more timid, comrade.
I thought I should also get the big camera out and practice some of those skills I learnt recently. Fortunately, I was offered an opportunity to capture some of those action shots I need to work on...

Taking flight... |

Escape... |

Brief repose... |
|
Off again... |
|
Going, going... |
|
Gone...somewhere |
From the side fence to the Hills Hoist...s/he didn't give up. There's another lesson from the wild there today I think...
[Camera : Canon60D, 75-300mm, 4.05pm; 4.23-35pm; shutter speeds around 1/100 for effect, to 1/250]
And I can hear them out the back now, as I write, farewelling the day.
