I took these photos with the Nokia Lumia 530 Windows Phone.  The weather was extremely windy and I was gobsmacked when I saw the setting sun bouncing on shredded clouds.

Down by the footbridge, a spotted pardalote is nesting in among stones in the foundations. The Nikon D3000 was able to capture him. This was early in October.

Superb Fairy-Wren & Spotted Pardalote

Ever since the leaves came back on the oak tree, I have been looking for the owl/s. A Powerful Owl was roosting yesterday, clutching a half-grown possum. I hadn’t seen it when we walked up the road but, on the way back, Vika spotted the possum’s stomach pouch on the ground underneath.

I was thrilled that the oak will be a regular daytime roost again this year. From the amount of scat on the ground underneath, this morning, I think both owls may have been there and I hadn’t seen it due to the thickness of the foliage. No owls this morning, though.

I didn’t have time to go back and take photos yesterday, nor could I as I think I have locked the aperture setting on my camera or it is set to flash every time and the flash will not come up – not sure. I haven’t had time to go through the manual and undo whatever I did to it. I was playing with a button and turning a dial. I doesn’t seem to be the SD card.

These are old owl photos, from Autumn, with the Nikon D3000 SLR
