It seems that the love of bird photography runs in the family.

My son has some new photographic gear that he loves using. On a recent visit home he proudly showed me his new equipment: a Canon EOS 40D digital SLR.

Nice camera – bit on the heavy side for my liking, but one can really get into the photo game with gear like that.

Anyway, Simon has been posting a few of his bird photos on his blog. Here are some recent posts that include bird shots:

• Munro park / Tunks Park– (north Sydney
• Parrots at Tunks – King Parrots
• Lane Cove National Park
• Kookaburra on the clothes line – a stunning close up photo

And here is where I wrote about my camera and bird photography:
