The most beautiful bird in our country. With colours sparkling like it's a tropical bird.
Where's number 2? Over here they always travel in pairs.

Out at the old abattoirs that is being converted again today, this is inside the fridge aisle of the new supermarket that is nearing completion as part of its transformation.

Kandao Qoocam 8K, a camera I do NOT recommend to anyone interested in a 360 camera! I'm going to get rid of my copy and get a Laowa 9mm lens for the Sony full-frame camera body, as it is almost 180 degrees, with zero distortion! Three or four snaps with that on my nodal head and I'll have exponentially better 360 detail for VR output!

We have a breeding pair in our garden (we had a baby fly into our house that the dog nearly caught), and yes they are normally together.

Finally got my first weekend getaway from home this year to visit Joshua Tree on 7/25. Got on time to snap this Milky Way with my 35mm travel lens. Moon was about to set on the horizon had to take the shot before the Milky Way goes vertical completely View attachment 938422

Following that shot, I pointed the camera to the moon to test the limits of my camera without going to exposure bracketing (Unfortunately, I didn't come up with that idea to get a way better exposure) so I had to play with a 1 second shot at ISO 3200 to get the moonlight on the foreground without making the moon look like the sun.

PS, you can still see the crater on the moon if you zoomed in enough

I was talking yesterday about a young goldfinch. Well, soon after that it came out and performed for me...

Not a zoo. Went to a wild animal rescue/rehab center yesterday. Almost got all the forward chain link fence out with only the minor gray blotches.

Looking down the aisle of the chiller section at the new supermarket build yesterday. The Boof couldn't stop seeing herself in the fridge/freezer doors and getting confused, poor thing!
