Thank you for visiting the Stoop Files in 2013. I really enjoyed your visits and comments.
For the last day of the year, Kevin and Kay Williams and myself started early on a damp and misty morning at Ravensbourne National Park then headed down the Great Divided Range where we ran into Mick Atzeni who was also out birding. We ticked 105 species for the one day, and I clicked 467 exposures on one camera and a handful on another.
At Ravensbourne, numerous birds were flying in and out of the above pictured tree where I guess they were getting fruit then taking it into the forest at the right. Bad light for photography but a very beautiful place to visit.
I hope you have a super 2014 and find many birds that thrill you!

| Deer When we were heading down the range I read that there are 6 introduced deer species in Australia. (Of course none are native) I'm guessing this is a Red Deer but I'm not sure. If you have a better idea I'd be grateful to know. |

Those pics really showed what it was like Russ.
Thanks for joining us we had a great day.
A lovely post to show how it was on New Year's Day there. I like that first "moody" shot. It was a bit damp in Melbourne too if that's any consolation!
beautiful starter photo Russell; and I'm impressed at the catch by the fairy-wren; sounds like another good birding day out with friends
Congrats on your century...........
Hapy new year.
Greetings from Spain.
