birds on and around the moggill wetlands.

I decided to move the water birds from the wetlands to their own folder as I aim to take many more photos there.
The River bank in Moggill is a wonderful place for birds too. the Brahminy kite came to help me with my huge problem taking flight shots with the sigma 150 -500. the wetlands became the dry lands for a few months and now after january 2013 floods it is alive again'
I have found a friendly land owner with a large dam/wetlands area who allows me to go onto his block and take photos . from july 2013
