why do birds suddenly appear ...

birds are such amazing creatures

these images were taken near mossy point, south coast nsw, and posted on flickr
the photographer noted that this white bellied sea-eagle was "around 30m away, going from it's known wingspan and body length. (This is only half the image because I thought it looked better cropped). That body is nearly 1m long"


i particularly like the quality of this image

the brown wing feathers look as they've been hewn from wood

this image reminds me of bruce armstrong's work







bunjil lives on wurundjeri way, near docklands. bunjil is the name for the eagle creator figure for the Wurundjeri people.
my dad loved birds. he studied them and painted them. especially water birds.
