So I'm thinking that tonight's post might be short and sweet.
I didn't get to visit my little Chicklet today because sadly, the Chicklet family is down with the flu.
So instead, I pedalled out to the dirt track that splits the national park to see if I could find some fairy wrens.
I could hear them everywhere, but then I could also hear this Raptor. I have no idea if it's a hawk or a kite or an eagle, but it was squawking incessantly, high in the tree, while all the little birds in the bush below were freaking out.
This isn't a good photo and it's tightly cropped, but I've posted it on flickr with hopes that one of the 'bird' men can tell me what it is.
I was surprised when two little female wrens flew up onto the branch of this small tree and looked up at the raptor for a couple of minutes and then disappeared back into the long grasses.
I've had a disappointing day with the camera. I had a couple of ideas for photographs that didn't quite pan out. I spent a lot of time on them but they just didn't live up to my expectations, so my energy levels have dropped a touch.
You know what we creative types are like ... very touchy and moody. Just ask Adoring Husband lol!
I might get an early night to bed and build the energy levels up again, so that I can start fresh tomorrow.
Nite all.
