Mum Butcherbird, or maybe its Dad, brings junior and the other juveniles around twice a day for feeding.

Hooray!! At last I have seen an Australian Tiger Beetle. Totally different markings to the NZ variety which is plain black and white instead of this lovely irridescent sheen. I always remember seeing a NZ Tiger Beetle find its mate and share a fly it had caught. I'm sure insects have more intelligence than we credit them with.
Before I magnified this shot on my camera's preview screen, I thought I had found a 12 legged mutant.

I came to photography rather late in life. Almost too late. Consequently, all my photographs are "Limited Edition" prints. I enjoy observing people and the environment. Using a digital camera avoids the messy and unhealthy use of darkrooms and chemicals, although it does involve spending many hours in front of the computer screen.
