After going through my list last week and marking some birds i had not ticked off yet i discovered i was at 349. I had a mates 50th in Nowra to attend on the weekend in Nowra and being told many years ago of 2 locations there reliable for Rockwarbler i took the opportunity to get my 350th.
I went to Bomaderry creek on Friday but dipped so Saturday morning i went to Bens walk, i only had to walk a hundred metres to find 2 birds. The light was poor under the cliff face so i set my shutter to 1/60 to keep the ISO down so most of the shots a poor due to the birds not sitting still.
This is the only keeper i got but still has some motion blur so i will have to return with better light to improve on my shots.

Awesome work. 350 is quite an achievement, and I presume they have all been photographed too

Well done Shorty. While not an award winning photo, but certainly not a bad photo by any means. Grats on 350. My aim is for 300 by the end of the year and I'm about 50 short.
Congrats on the 350 Shorty and I will take your poor photo over some of my good ones anyday :)
Dont take life too seriously, it never ends well
It seems as though the more photos you take, the better you get and the fussier you get.
I now delete photos I used to think were pretty good.
Thanks all, Ryu, yes all photographed :)

Congratulations Rawshorty! Great achievement.
Very nice photo and well done getting to 350 - thats a fantastic landmark.
They are active little birds hopping around the ground - they dont sit still !
Congratulations on the 350 milestone, an absolutely outstanding acheivement. Hoping to be at 100 by years end.
Fantastic effort Shorty and what a lovely bird for #350. Congratulations on the milestone and for all the amazing images you have contributed.
Congratulations Shorty. Get yourself on a couple of Pelagics, especially out of Tasmania...30+ species per day.
