[Photos] Wildlife - Birbs (Cape Barren Goose, Glossy Ibis, Cattle Egret)

[moonvoice]

I really love egrets.
And ibis.
And cape barren geese.

The cape barren goose male did a run and display at me while I was standing there with my camera, and I can't blame him, because he had a female and he was being all bold and protective. Thankfully there was a fence between us because those fuckers are a metre tall.

Glossy ibis.







Cape barren goose. *coughs*A dinosaur*coughs*







He was displaying here too and giving me some major side-eye.



Look he is a super serious dad.



Dinobirb. Seriously, a lot of people talk about Cassowaries as the ultimate dinobirb, and I see that, I do, but these guys are HUGE and there's some rumours that they may be related to flightless megafauna in New Zealand.

These are such great photos! You did a fantastic job with the backgrounds.

(I think I need to get in more practice.)

Thank you! I'm lucky though, I mean it's at a wildlife park and Caversham is very good at making the backgrounds look more natural. Though I try and angle away from fences where possible too. It's a challenge sometimes!
