Here's a Black Kite exposing its nictitating membrane. This Black Kite was resting on top of a tree this morning. Almost didn't see it as we were driving fast, so I had to do a double look or I would have totally missed this amazing opportunity to capture it. Bird photography is being on the right time, right place, right weather, right sunlight, right everything lol. #BirdPhotography #BirdsofAustralia #BirdsofFediverse #FediBirds #Wildlife #BirdsofPixelfed #BirdsofMastodon #AustralianBirds

Lately, I realised I like zoomed-out photos of birds a little bit more. Instagram has conditioned us to like to super close-up portrait of birds, and they're pretty. Who doesnt like seeing the intricacies of the feathers? But its very limiting for me and I kinda always end up taking similar shots. Im learning to not overcrop and enjoy the habitat as much as I enjoy the bird.. #BirdPhotography #BirdsofAustralia #BirdsofFediverse #FediBirds #Photography #Wildlife #AustralianBirds

Semi-resurrected my bird feeder camera. Still needs some tweaking because apparently OpenCV has changed things in the intervening 2 years and YOLO object detection is broken.
