Hey gang - lets do the opposite of last week's theme. Instead of portraits, lets look at birds in landscapes...

This is where I am , when I talk to you guyssmiley, my landscape. (You can see my driveway in the front)

sorry, forgot about the birds.....they are in there, trust me. Hard to find? Not really, you just have to stand still for long enough.

Sorry I haven't been around for weeks. Been very busy.

I wasn't sure if you mean landscape mode for images of birds, or images of birds with landscapes in the photos surprise

But I think the latter seeing what has been posted here.

Lucky you! No wonder you get such a lovely range of wet forest birds at your place. :)

If you had this in the 'Identifications' section I would look at the neck length in relation to the body length and suggest that it is a Great Egret

but then you don't have it in IDs

I'm certain it's A great Australian Egret, You can even see the kink in it's neck.

That's where we went today, Swan Lake on Phillip Island (Vic).Saw some ducks that are missing on your log Shorty. Spotted quite a few Freckled Ducks.

There actually 3 different logs. Have not looked them up yet but sure were a few different ones there, but no Freckled.

Here is one more from me, there is one gull up the back near one of the 100+ seals.
