Grebe and Spoonbill

I went to Mt Annan Botanical Gardens last week to try to find some Plumed Whistling Ducks that were reported, unfortunately I didn't find them but instead I took some photos of a Royal Spoonbill and a Australasian Grebe with chicks.

Lovely shots Tim. Can't go wrong with those two birds.

Spoonbill looks like it's about to fall over backwards :-)

Didn't even see the Grebe chicks at first! Well done.

Awesome photos, Tim! I especially like the Grebe photo :)

What camera and lense did you use?

Thanks Rick and M.M.

I use a Canon 7d with a tamron 150-600mm lens.

Cool photos Tim. I especially love the Grebes shot. I have the same lens but am using it on a Canon 70D instead.

NIce shots, Tim.

Love it when the grebes have their young.

A friend of mine pops in there when she is in Sydney and sends me a pic of a Pacific Baza that she gets when she is there, only to rub it in as she knows i don't have one yet :(

Shorty......Canon gear
