Description :Edit: OMG a DD that's so totally awesome, thank you so very much. I was actually sitting on the tailgate of my car when I shot this and was packing away my gear from a night out star shooting but I grabbed it all back out of the bag and started snapping away when this big beautiful bird landed in the pond, it was just one of those lucky magical moments where your in the right place at the right time. Since everyone keeps asking me this was shot in the Whitsundays in Australia, just down the road from my house.

"Duck Duck Jabiru" Another perfect dawn in the swamp, this big beautiful Jabiru flew down and started feeding in the pond then something spooked all the ducks and other little birds hiding in the grass and they flew straight through the middle of my shot it was just magical. I couldn't think of a title for this one (sometimes my brain just goes completely blank). For some odd reason when I look at this image I get that old kids game duck, duck goose stuck in my brain box so I sort of just went with a twisted version of that as the title... I'm so random sometimes LOL.

Oh my gosh!!! You are so lucky to have seen a Jabiru - I've only ever seen 3, and NEVER in such a magical setting as this! Well done
I've always wanted to do a photography trip to the water flats around Giru, because of the sheer number of birds there. Sometimes I've seen Brolga chicks there - so adorable! But I haven't been around the Whitsundays area yet, so now its on my list of places to go
Also, congrats on the well-deserved DD!

Wow it's a small world, I was just down near Giru a few months for the Palm Creek music festival ago I didn't know about the Brolgas though... I was a tad busy running my festival stall, perhaps next year I'll slink off early with my camera and go check it out.
