Powerful Owl with what’s left of a ringtail possum. These are the largest owls in Australia. Their numbers have been increasing as baiting of foxes has resulted in an increase in possum numbers.

Awww!
A little fellow I spotted just splashing around in a local creek. He (she) stayed with me for about an hour and came within a couple of feet while I stood quietly. Even in Australia not something you see every day.
Like!You go girl!
Man, every time I see one it’s driven home again that the platypus is one weird creature! Looks mostly beaver-ish in those shots. Nice work!
Nice pics!
If there’s anything better than seeing a 65 ton Abrams tank go flying over a 3 foot berm and firing while airborne I have yet to see it. Definitely the cover of my book this year!

Wow, they are lovely clear photos! Which creek?
I met a platypus on the Thredbo river while trout fishing early in the morning. They are absolutely delightful.

I’ve never been super impressed with the quality I was getting out of the 80-400. That changed Saturday with the Ocean City Air show. Combo of D500 and the 80-400 was INCREDIBLE. Very happy with how these came out. Only half edited so far, Blue Angels and F-22 Raptor to follow.
