I'm pretty sure I've mentioned -- probably more than once -- that this blog subscribes to the photographers' cliché: the best camera is the one you have with you. It's the reason I tend to tote the old Nikon with its phallic telephoto lens whenever we're off somewhere in the car. You just never know …
The Kestrels have continued to offer all kinds of photography opportunity in the last few weeks, and we'll get to all that at some point, but for now let's have a look at a bit of a phenomenon from the good old Block of Flats. In short, I was on an errand in the car …
Recently we had a couple of days' rain and wind which prevented me from visiting the nest site. I figured it would be a good thing to give the poor harassed parents a break from my sticky beaking (pun totally intended). But when yesterday dawned beautiful and clear, I hotfooted it up there to have …
OK so this one is fraught with rabbit-hole risk, so I'm going to have to keep it tight. That's because it's about very complicated cross-cultural interconnections and disconnections -- boring really, with not much to reveal about life the universe or anything.

Without subjecting you all to a journey back in time to the beginnings of my obsession with photography, let's just say that the current blossoming started …
It may be that you have gained an impression from all this Braidwood-centric content that the raptor obsession is a new thing. You would be wrong! In fact, birds of prey have long fascinated me, and once or twice over the years have been the subject of my probing lens. Possibly the first time the …
Off to Sydney last week looking for work, so the Willies were left to their own devices for four days or so. Somehow I don't think they minded much. Yesterday, late afternoon, I took Archie down to Commonwood Farm to check on progress -- and work out the kinks after driving back from the metrop. …
As most of Australia wearily re-enters lockdown, cowed by the vigorous, irrepressible Delta Strain, in Braidwood (alongside the reappearance of masks on the local populace) we’re starting to see very early signs of spring. This winter has been a lot colder than last year’s edition, so seeing the first few buds on the trees really …
