This picture of a Crested Tern as it was landing was taken at the Nobbies at Philip Island on 4 December 2023. There was a huge Crested Tern colony that was new formed in that part of the Island that wasn’t there previously. This photograph was taken at sunset. I like how the Tern is backlite and there is a bit of glow on the edge of its wing and beak. Noise reduction was applied to remove the noise in the shadows.

I was very fortunate to have witnessed two Little Eagles (light morphs) soaring over the Skink Habitant at Royal Park Trin Warren Tam-Boore on 31 May 2024. One of them came very close and banked right, thereby, catching the sunlight and provided me with an opportunity to capture the photograph above.

On 11 May 2024, during our recent trip to the Winton Wetlands in the North East of Victoria, I had the opportunity to capture photographs of an immature White-bellied Sea-Eagle in flight. Do you prefer the eagle with its wing down or up?
