I am now at the end of my first month here in Darwin. I am still enjoying it. At work the trainer wheels are slowly coming off.....it' s beginning to make sense. I am really enjoying working with well women, they are a joy...We often eat here at the local sailing club..I had to add a sunset photo-they are amazing to experience.
Today I went out and had a long walk through an area of mangroves.They have built boardwalks so the thrill of arguing with crocs is reduced..!!Mangroves are areas I haven't had a lot of experience in-quite unique with amazing wildlife amongst them.This above is an area just going under the tide, and below an area dry with the little "snorkels" the trees use to "breathe" when the water has gone.
I continued walking and found myself near a reserve so sat down to just look.....
This little Rainbow Bee Eater came quite close to spy on me. I had with me a new lens(100mm-400mm), (an early birthday present to myself!!!), so was suitably delighted with the results.I love shooting birds, so now I may have some success.
He fluffed himself up....
and I soon found out why...this mate(presumably) arrived with much noise
I think it was the news of the day being shared.......
I do enjoy the sharing of news too, thankyou to my dear friends who still email me...I may live a distant away, but there is part of me in ChCh still. Hope the winter is not being too unkind..spring must be coming. Take care all of you

Great to hear your enjoying it up there.
Were the shots of the Rainbow Bee Eater handheld?.. they were so sharp considering the depth of field.. very nice Sis.
