Day 218: Fl~~y like a ...

Day 218: ...Pacific Baza

I think today has hit its peak. There is a lot of stuff going on in the world that, professionally, just makes me shake my head and wonder why. Does teaching and researching ways to 'stop the war' (to choose a three word slogan I adopt) ever achieve much? Perhaps, a little, somewhere, sometimes...


Fly like a baza...
 And then, the noisy miners signal the arrival of a territorial visitor. Today, not one but TWO Pacific Bazas flew in and around the trees this morning offering a brief respite from that which must be done. 


Going...

Away...

Dance of the baza...

Curious...

If at first you succeed...go!

Away, again...

And the lori sees all...

Birds in flight, with the dial switched to M (for learning purposes you understand, dear reader) remain a challenge...f stops, shutter speeds, movement, etc and so forth. But I'm prepared to keep working on it.
