Garden Orb-weaver
Taken at Nail Can Hill reserve. The Garden orb-weaver will bite readily, but won't harm you much, just a little pain for half hour or so. Its back leg is resting on its web keeping tabs for any fresh catches.Nikon d70 : 1/500 : f/13 : 90mm : iso320

Nice to see you again
It's been a couple of years (and a couple of kids!) and it's good to be back. I've moved to Albury and I'm excited about getting to know the local wildlife and share it with you.Nikon d70 : 1/800 : f/8 : 90mm : iso320

White Caper Butterfly
It has been a while. Baby arrived mid September, so I've been a bit busy. For the record, we had a baby girl, and no, I wont punish you all with baby photos.
Instead, here is a White Caper Butterfly (Anaphaeis java) taken yesterday.

Soon to be dad
Sorry I've been away for so long, but my wife and I are expecting our first child any day now. We have been spending all our time catching up with friends and family, getting ready for baby, making the most of our last months of "coupledom" and trying to stockpile sleep! As a result, I haven't been bush for a while.
I hope to get back to nature with the camera when I can take the little one for walks with me.
Till then, thanks for dropping by.

Unknown
Another gritter from Mt coot-tha, only, I have now idea what it is. I looked on the web, in my books and I even had a quick look in at the local museum, still no ID. Anyone out there who can give my a heads up?

Thin Jumping Spider
Opisthoncus necator found just up the creek from where I took the last two photos at Mt Coot-tha. The flash was held from above and behind, which, I think does a nice job of showing off its hairy legs and the silk from it rear end.

Butcherbird
This is the same bird from the last post. It was sitting on my knee when I took this photo. For a bird in the wild, it certainly wasn't shy.

Butcherbird Feathers
I was having a picnic at Mt Coot-tha today, when a Butcherbird joined us. It sat on my knee while I got a few close-ups with my macro lens. This one is of the feathers on the back of its neck.

Fiji Parrotfinch
Bula! I've just spent 7 days relaxing in Fiji and one of the spoils was seeing lots of these finches. According to Post Fiji, who feature it on one of its stamps, it is "one of the Fiji's most attractive birds".
I'm off on more travels, this time staying domestic though. See you in a week.

Paradise
No photos from me for about seven days. I'm off to relax in a place similar to this, and hopefully take plenty of photos while I'm there. Paradise
