Eastern Reef Egrets ??
l took this shot recently on the coast about 8 miles South of home.
None of the people at the Bird Club could give an lD of the birds.
They've never seen them before!!

Nearest they could say was that they are likely a mutation,(having prominent crests)
of the very rare Eastern Reef Egret..... that most members have never ever seen.

l was alone at the time, so sadly for him, Hal missed out !!

I photographed this elephant family
in a game reserve in Zambia.
The well protected baby elephant
is just one week old

A Portrait of Emily.
One of my grand-children here in South Africa.

These two giraffes were taken at Mfuwe Game Reserve in Eastern Zambia.

Bass Point juts out into the ocean.
lt is not visited all that often and
retains a wild and unspoilt atmosphere.
Rarely one sees gannets diving for fish there
but though very large flights of lovely silver gulls, like this one,
are also rare, l was fortunate enough to capture this shot of them
flying out over the surf.

This White Faced Heron is a regular visitor at our little lake.
They make a loud croak when startled.

I grew these lovely roses in pots which stand outside my cabin.
They flower continuously and give me great joy.

Pelicans on the Lake.
These are quite common around here.
They are different from the American variety,
as these pellies do not dive for their food.

This picture of Killalea Beach was taken at sunrise.
Hal and I had breakfast at the picnic area, above this lovely beach.
Some years ago this was a dairy farm. The owners charged the surfers two dollars to access their beach.

This picture was taken at Minnamurra, not far from where I live.
It is a great place for hiking and swimming.
