The average rainfall in Sydney, Australia for June is 130.6 millimeters. We've had 81 millimeters already in just six days of June! This post has been submitted to SKY WATCH FRIDAY!!
Wow, those are great shot!
At first glance I thought: "How come? Pre historic photos of the famous flying dino?" ... only then, foolish me, I read your words ... an australian ibis that is!
Lovely.
What a great collection of photos brill post.
My lady and her lamp - are now up and running.
Nice looking photographs of the Australian Ibis in flight.
Beautiful photos!! Love 'em.
Thanks ForThePeople :)
HAAHAA!!! I could have been time travelling if you like Quinttarantino :)
Thankyou Imac!
Those two are the best, especially with the light helping to sustain the colour of wings AbrahamLincoln :)
Thanks ChampTownboy!
Really wonderful use of a textured sky Anonybird. That first shot is a pearl!
Thanks G3TFilms! It's not easy getting them in frame and focused when they are flying as fast as they can!!
Not as fast as me running away from the ickle flamey mouth of dat dwagon!
I like this sky and its bird flights.
Wonderful photos - And lots of birds - I'll be back (my "Friday's Feathers" will be up later today) :)
You’re a scaredy CAT, G3TFilms!!! *tweet*!
Thankyou, Luiz Ramos :)
Ohhhhh Archiearchive, there are LOTS of birds here! You have Friday Feathers? I’ll fly over later today so I won’t miss them :)
fantastic shots of the birds and sky, really amazing :)
You're a flighty burd AnonyMouse.
Perfect skywatch! I wish we'd have rain here in Florida.Haven't had decent rain for over 2 months.
Send some buckets over!
Cheers, Klaus
Thankyou LaughingWolf, now close that gape and start laughing again :)
I'm NOT a mouse G3TFilms! I ma flying in circles today ... ;)
Hi Klaus, thanks! We're either wishing for rain or wanting it to stop here, if it's not flooding there's a drought!
Fantastic shots!
great captures!
Whoa. How's that for amazing! These are great, great, great photos.
Amazing captures, all of them
HAHA! Thankyou for your comments Sherry, Rose, SandyCarlson and Babooshka :))))
Well well well..... lots of new people in here.... But I understand why. This sky is really dramatic and beautiful! :)
Thankyou MerlinPrincesse :) We are all Skywatching! Very dark here today ...
Wondeful pictures! Love the drama.
Just great !!
Nice weekend to you, with some more great shots.
Beautiful, How well you have captured the flying bird! It is very difficult I know.
Wow - stunning clouds and you got the bird so clearly too. Amazing
I hope you are not all going to drown - I thought Australia was meant to be having a drought - it sounds like that's broken. Or is it just where you are?
! oh yes rain! :o)
Amazing shots!
Great! :)
Fantastic pictures, love the feather detales..
Can't beat drama Sandpiper ;)
Thankyou for your "nice weekend" wish Anemone! I hope the rain stops for a little photography :)
Thanks Indrani! Waiting or luck has a lot to do with capturing birds in flight :) Unless you scream "BOO"!
Lucky with their subtle glowing colour Caroline - though mostly white :) We are still having a drought, it's just going to take years to catch up... they need more rain mostly inland!
Oh yes RAIN Simon! It's flooding all over the place down here!
Thanks Ida!
Hello Tom, thankyou again for hosting Skywatch Friday! Those feathers have tales to tell ;)
I suppose rain during droughts is often useless anyway - on such hard baked earth it must run off quite quickly.
Just south of us there are people in danger of flooding again this year... the ground is so saturated it only takes a little more rain to cause problems.
Caroline, we are having flooding problems here on the outskirts of Sydney, mostly North. It's a long weekend and REALLY cross my fingers I can have an overnight stay somewhere but it doesn't look promising right now ...
You Sydney people are just plain greedy*!* I was enjoying our bit of rain before it decided to head further south to your neck of the woods LOL
... Brilliant photos Anony, so I'll forgive the rain clouds, they obviously had a date to keep with the Ibis. Tusp*!*
Tsup*!* Tsup*!* Bimbimbie! I'm hoping the date wasn't a successful one and the clouds will fly back your way pronto! Sydney people don't want this rain, even to just boast about REALLY! Heehee :))
Fantastic capture, excellent done.
GASP! These are soooo beautiful. Those skies! I'm always amazed when people can get a good shot of a moving bird against the sky, but then I haven't had a really good camera in years. But still... it would have been long gone while I was still figuring the exposure!
PS:-hah! blogger wouldn't allow me to use the tag "geek rant" when I just tried to post :)
Thankyou DanielJSantos :)
Hhehee, thanks Bird! Those skies are pretty horrible aren't they - for a long weekend! HAHHAAA Blogger must be sensitive to actually being a place for geek ranting ;)
The birds are held in wonderful relief by the clouds. Have a good long weekend.
Wow! These are fantastic. You did a great job capturing not only the sky but the bird.
These are something for me to remember over the next week. Thanks for sharing these!
The only bird cooler than a pelican in flight must be an ibis! Love your shots.
Beautiful description, thankyou Julie!
WOW thanks, pleased to have made a lasting impression Sandy'sNotes :)
Must be Mike! Hhehhee thanks!
You're having rain, we're having WIND!!!!! Even the birds were grounded yesterday.
No wonder there are 44 comments already ... these are GORGEOUS, Anon!! Award-winning!
Oh no, with the rain there's storms Debra Kay, thank your wind it isn't crying ;)
HAHA Melissa! THANKS! It's almost Saturday here ;)
