At this point in the show the rain came down but the bird handler kept on with the show.
The tourists kept on with the tour.
only 2 of the photos would load for me. maybe it's my slow connection.
ReplyDeleteMy connection is slow too but I will be back later :)
ReplyDeleteLovely shots of the birds, Diane! I had five photos load for me..
ReplyDeleteI had four pic load. Beautiful x
ReplyDeleteThat is weird, they all load for me. Blogger????
ReplyDeleteI can see them all. Gorgeous birds! Especially the colorful lorikeet.
ReplyDeleteOh such beautiful birds, thanks for sharing them with us
ReplyDeleteIt's one of those places that once you have paid to enter you really want to take in as much as you can. I have fond memories of our last visit there 11 years ago - and hope to return in the next year or two.
ReplyDeleteDidn't you say once that you don't like to photograph birds because you don't do a good job ... You are definitely NOT allowed to say that any longer ... these are wonderful pictures. Rain or shine.
ReplyDeleteI love the owl photo ;) Its eyes are such a suppository of wisdom. The lorikeet is good too.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad the photographer kept on with the tour when the rains came. The Lorikeet is the most colorful bird I've seen.
ReplyDeleteMore great pictures... That was great that the tour guide kept on with the tour despite the rain... Love it!!! I love the Eagle --since it looks so different from ours. Love that owl also!!!! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Betsy
Well I can see them all.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos - the Asian tourist brigade look disappointed with the weather and such a shame.
Were there not other parrot varieties besides those noisy lorikeets??
The crimson rosellas, the eastern parrots etc etc. I would be surprised if they weren't somewhere
on show.
Pity it can't rain where it is needed - like all over Australia and now, before summer comes.
Well done, Diane on showcasing the wonderful bird life of Australia.
Cheers
Colin
Lovely photos. So pretty are those birds.
ReplyDeleteExcellent pictures. But nothing looks sadder than a bird of prey in the rain, does it?
ReplyDeleteShe is a tough lady in her soaking shirt! I see the tourists were prepared for the rain.
ReplyDeleteI Never tire of our beautiful parrots and think eagles are just awesome so really enjoyed this post.
ReplyDeleteGot to love a bird handler that's not afraid of rain!
ReplyDeletethe lorikeet and the pelican are so beautiful.. i love your pelicans, they are so different than ours are and they are my favorite bird... yours and ours....
ReplyDeleteNo on the macaw but the cockatoo she is holding is! All of your bird photos are amazing and I'm a parrot lover (owner) so that would be heaven for me!
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying seeing all these beautifully coloured birds - who cares if it rains anyway?
ReplyDeleteSome of my favourite birds there.
ReplyDeleteHi Diane, I came back to look at all these amazing birds. I loved all of them but that wedge tailed eagle really caught my eye. He is impressive. I have always enjoyed these bird shows. I don't get the chance to see them very often. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLove the colorful bids ! Still my favorite bird is your Kookaburra ! I have it on a YouTube and it makes my friends laugh !
ReplyDeleteGreat shots, I love bird photos especially when they are ones we do not see here. Have a great weekend t'other Diane
ReplyDeleteGreat birds, we went a few times to Thailand in the rainy season and it was never a problem.
ReplyDeleteGreetings,
Filip
What fabulous bird shots. I've never seen that species of Eagle.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shots! Even in the rain. Love the moorhen and the owl and lorikeet...well, they are all so good!
