Red tail cockatoo and macaw
My third entry.
One of the many camels we saw last time in the Simpson.
Although they are not native they are still a welcome site.
This poor little wild cocky on a Qld island had some kind of disease.
Was very friendly though.

I put this picture up in general banter, the other day. I found him in the pouch of my tool belt in the shed.
This was taken by my daughter as I was entering the water to warm up for the start of the 2008 Pier to Pub ocean race. At this stage there would have been over a thousand swimmers who had entered the water at this site. It was very aggressive and we picked it up by scooping up the sand under it and released it the other side of the rocks.
I now tread very carefully when entering the water there.
Are they dangerous?
Dead before you hit the water mate!Quote:

Most certainly, as growler explains in his link. As a diver I have a healthy respect for them and have seen them on several occasions. This one was very agitated as you can see from the colour.Quote:

Been going through our photos on PC and found this. What a beauty.

Time now for you to vote for your favourites. Voting will be extended a little this month as I will be away for a long weekend & therefore you have until 6pm Vic time on Tuesday 6th May to register or change your votes.

Well I’m back from a great but rather damp camping weekend & can now slightly belatedly announce the results of the April Competition.
Joint 1st place goes to my goodselves for the photos of the ciccada shedding it’s skin & the jabiru with the snake, both with 15 votes. Thank you to all.
In second place with 12 votes is Fracster’s great shot of the deer. Sharp & cute at the same time.
In joint third place very close behind with 11 votes each are ‘TPC’’s action shot of the goannas & ‘SonOf’s’ atmospheric shot of the Red Bellied Black snake.
Again well done to the winners & to everyone who put in an entry. The results this month highlight just how different aspects of photos can appeal to you the judges. My winning entries and TPC’s winning entry are clearly ‘right place at the right time’ shots, whereas Fracster’s winning entry encapsulates photographic ‘quality’ as well as subject matter - & no doubt the all important post picture taking selection process. SonOf’s winning entry shows great ‘composition’.
Well that’s my somewhat amateur interpretations anyway ....... we all have our own criteria for picking the winners of these comps ......... & that’s as it should be.
I’ll post the May comp later this evening.
regards
Cuppa
