Thanks birdgirl, Travelling around the North of WA gives me plenty of opportunities to photograph BOP's. It drives my wife crazy stopping every 15 minutes while I run off into the bush trying to get another bird.
Last year I stayed on a station that had some nesting hobbies and the chicks were just learning to fly. My sister and I were standing in an open paddock and the chicks were swooping us and flying past us within 1-2 meters. It was an unbelievable experience to be there watching. I have some more pics of a family group I found in a creek bed recently and will post some of the pics when I process them.
This is yet another stunning photo. How do you find so many perched, and get so close? Please continue with BOP!

Thanks in advance
