Hairy Git:

Hi moonlustie, cracking shot of this chap, I have pics of him going back six years. Last year he was the ousted stag and looked rather lonesome at the Ham end of the park. I have loved all the photos on these pages but have not had time to pop in the last few days as I have been building up my flickr site and started some groups. best too all Simon

Really? That's a shame. I have a small flock that visits the feeder in my yard 3 or 4 times a day.

         Spin. You really must use the "quote" thing

                  Wev'e skipped on to a new page and I thought you were sujesting you had a small flock of white tigers visiting your feeder!

I went to Donna Nook to see the seals yesterday, absolutely awe inspiring.

This is a magnificent wild Chital or Axis deer in North Queensland Australia , he is within a week or so of rubbing his velvet covered antlers free of it , I have watched and photographed this master stag for the past year and have photos with his previous set of anlers on as well as just after he dropped them , he would be 5-6 years old now and looking like the boss.

 

hi simon,

where in NQ are wild deer? I live in Townsville, so am rather curious about this, and whether it might be close enough for me to come see for myself!

Wow fantastic pictures, I am so jealous

I did think about going up for a couple of days later this week but looking at the weather forcast have changed my mind

I thought that, I was looking at the forecast all week prior to our visit.  Everyday it was the same for the Sunday, light rain.

Then, fantastically it changed two days before to cloudy.  It was awesome!  Never trust the forecasters!!

Felt for one of the guys though, he`d dropped his camera a couple of days prior.  When he got home, all his shots were slightly out of focus. Gutted isn`t the word....

I`ll say something though, that walk across the sand out to the sea is one heck of a trek!

Ouch, how sad for him, I'd be gutted too, what a shame

It's not the rain that worries me, forecast is for really strong NE winds and very cold, sea spray wouldn't do the camera or lenses much good,  I'll get there one day.

steve.garner32 – Cracking shot of the Tiger and he/she even looks content.

sue allen – Great pictures of the dogs.

minky_monkey – Fantastic pictures of the seals and their pups. As for weather forecasters mainly the five-day ones, they appear to be wrong more often than they are right.

One from today of a Kingfisher and it's the first time I've seen him here this year. Shame I didn't have my 2x converter with me.

Here are my ones...
