Awesome

You should submit that for publication, it is that good.

I've seen a few photos of these as my father tried to get some good photos for years. Very hard to do.

Bloody good photo.

Its posture/shape remind me of some villian. Can not remember if it was a cartoon or old black and white film.

Yes you have prompted me to think re that..was it a crow sort of hunched over spy in a Mad mag?

Here is a an old Jab and turtle,great almost giraffe like pattern on the turtle.

The turtle was found 100 yards from the water at low tide and it had left a long line of tracks in its endeavours to get back,we obliged with a carry back.

Jesus Gryph, you have surpassed yourself.

That Jabiru is superb.

Brilliant.

Yes Spy V Spy and also the little evil dude in the Maltese Falcon- cant remember his name.

The photo of the Jab is incredible. The colours and how they run together.

Gryp you are one great nature photographer.

A different and separate shot of the Jab concentrating on its scone only,note yellow eye`s are indicative of the female.
males have a dark eye.

^Gryph,

In FNQ they serve as both a totem and watchkeeper for people. If you hear them call it's a sign of imminent misfortune for someone.

I also photographed them late last year I think it was and when in full breeding plumage with the extra quills coming off the scone and they are an even better subject then.

As always your photographs are fantastic. I have no doubt you could sell them.
