A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
IDing something so hard to get decent photos of is tricky. It wouldn't stay still. And thank you Antonio :)
You're welcome. Im sorry I couldn't be more help.
These are incredibly close! Well done.
They are very cute together. Unfortunately they were far away, so the picture quality is iffy.
I didn't think of that. I will in the future :). And that's quite alright. I enjoyed telling the story haha.
Ah thank you (both for the welcome and the congratulations). We were staying in a really wonderful place to see wildlife at this house. I have quite a few photos from Australia and New Zealand to come, from the year that I lived and travelled there. I am now back in the UK though, so UK natives will be coming too.
@Neil - I know. We normally ate outside, but had to wait till he had left. Certainly didn't want to startle him. You don't want to get on the wrong side of a Cassowary!
Hi. I think they are either agapanthus' or alliums. It depends on size. Alliums are smaller than agapanthus'.
The house we were staying at was bordered by rainforest to the back, and beach to the front. We came back from work one day, when one of the people I was living with happened to look out when she was heading to the bathroom. Lo and behold there was this Cassowary inspecting his reflection. He hung around for about ten minutes. It really was an unusual situation, and we were really lucky.
