“The grass is absolutely alive with Fairy Wrens”, said the old guy with the binoculars as I arrived at Oxley Creek Common. He was right.
Bear Camp
I’ve lost count of the number of people who have quipped “well, it was called Bear Camp, not Bears Camp.” Yes. Very droll. You’re all as clever as each other. As disappointed as the group was to only see one bear, we all accepted that nature doesn’t operate on our timeline. That’s just part of […]
Kangaroo Island Wildlife
As much wildlife as we saw on KI, I didn’t really photograph a lot of it.
Etosha Wildlife

While that’s true, yesterday’s outing demonstrated the benefits of sometimes overpacking and giving yourself a few options to choose from. […]
Hokkaido Day 6
