More from Woodgate Beach

Went for a walk this evening and had the use of a Tamron IS lens. Results..... no shake yay!!!

This was a first for me today Plumed Whistling ducks.... really pretty




This is a little Friar Bird and the yellow threw me completely it took me a long time to find what it was.

The Kangaroos were everywhere and just gorgeous.

thanks guys, the galahs were very amusing !
Sparrow the tamron was 18-250 I think, and while I loved the fact that it could get me a good pic in lower light than I would have been able to manage, I was a bit disappointed after taking it out this morning again. I'd have to use it a bit ore but I am thinking that as bad as my EF lens is , the optics without IS give a sharper image in optimum conditions than the Tamron.
those whistling ducks are just the prettiest creatures... but really shy.

Birdie those ducks are just beautiful and I have never seen those before. The colours are wonderful. So by their name does it mean they have a whistle? Love your other photos as well. Galahs can be so entertaining.

They do just that Wanda, (Whistle) you should here them when there is a couple of hundred of them.
