Tawny Frogmouth composite

Captured on a camera trap in the northern Rivers of NSW, with a star shot taken at the exact same location showing something of the habitat in which these birds liv. The township of Lennox Head can be seen in the background.

The Emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae)

This was a farmed emu in NSW, near the Warrumbungles. The lady who owned the farm was tremendously lovely, and we had a great time looking around her garden and chatting to her!

Willie wagtail (Rhipidura leucophrys) eggs

Me and some of my friends were alerted to this nest by a fleeing parent as we walked through a semi-recently burnt bit of heath near Lennox Heads. It did not take long for it to return and shelter it's eggs from the light drizzle

Zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata)

I love watching zebra finches. I waited by a waterhole in the early morning to catch these zebra finches, yet unaware of my presence coming in for a drink. Other birds such as budgerigars and dotterels joined them for the morning’s drink. Check out my website for prints, licensing or to contact me for image use requests: www.jamesdoreyphotography.com.au
