A nice close up image of a honey bee on a pink Gerbera Daisy I think?
Hi All
Been a while since the last Wildlife shot. I took this less than an hour after being in that water snorkelling in the Ningaloo Reef. A scary sight, that's for sure.
Wildlife Weds again and if I am honest I am starting to run out of fauna photos. I might resort to including flora to as well :)
Today's wildlife is a Magpie Goose and was captured in a tree in Cape York far north Queensland. I was reliably informed that they are quite rare!
This Emu was happily wandering around Monkey Mia resort camp area without a care in the world!
I know sheep are pretty boring but these ones weren't - they were munching a farmers onions in a field that had a ton of onions drying in the sun. Who would have thought they would have eaten raw onions!!
This shot was taken in Monkey Mia, Shark Bay, Western Australia. The Dolphins come in here for one small fish every day. They are still considered wild as this is nowhere near enough to feed them fully.
I got to personally hand feed one of the dolphins, great experience.
This cheeky little fella is a Rainbow Lorikeet. They are a beautiful playful bird, this one in particular was taken at The Polish place in Mt Tamborine, Queensland. So cheeky are they here, that they wait for you to finish your coffee and cake and then jump in and lick your plate clean!!
This image is now available for purchase at my store Image Australia
These Pelicans were very tame, they were in Monkey Mia in the Shark Bay World Heritage area. This shot was taken moments after I had hand fed a technically Wild Dolphin. Monkey Mia is a great place to visit, but be prepared to travel to get there - it is very remote. Outback by the sea I would say!
This shot of 2 Dingos searching for food was taken on Fraser Island. The Dingos here are said to be the purest left in Australia as they have had less opportunity to inter breed with wild dogs.
The beach is the main highway on Fraser, as you can see these guys were feeding right in the middle of it!
This was our first real warning of the large Saltwater Crocodile. Pretty scary to think that you can't walk down the road as you may be eaten!
Needless to say we drove!
Now I know this is not technically 'Wild' life but I thought this guy was worth a mention. It is the White Peacock at Sandfire Roadhouse in Western Austraila. There were lots of Peacocks roaming here and around the campsite. Great stopping point on the way to Broome.
