  After the amazing day in Hawkesbury, I had camera issues with 'The Beast', so my next few months of Ozzie travelling saw me desperately trying to snap off shots with a small digital camera, with varying degrees of success! Thankfully it seemed like a lot of Australian birds are pretty confiding. The raptor action took place up in Kakadu, and the parrots were from all over.

  April 22: Me. Gageo Island. One month. Awesome.
