Nature's Place

Stoned …

They’ve been around since I got here, a pair of stone curlews. They recently had two chicks and spend much of their time looking after them, though there’s not a lot of food about.

Far from stone still, or stone silent, they can be raucous neighbours – the curly bit. But such is life at times. They’re part of the motley crew of birds and others coming and going about the garden.

…

Started https://www.instagram.com/wild.macro.nature/ recently. And doing a lot of work for the market stall on weekends – https://beingmark.com/contact/pictures-for-sale-bees-and-frogs/ – it’s been unexpectedly time consuming.

A few pix for sale on ebay now – https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/166414378564 – https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/166414404428 – https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/166414429747

An older pic, only doing small framed pix for now – no pencil sketches or prints. It’s a nice spot, by the sea.

And the garden’s doing nicely, might even have some new pix to post soon enough, here and there.

    I just took a look at your Instagram page, just like the page with the photos you sell. Really beautiful macro photos, my sincere compliments for your work!
    I also like to take photographs in nature, partly also detail photography (I dare not call it macro after seeing your images…) Thank you
    for sharing these links, you already have a photo on Instagram extra follower now.

    Stone the curlews! Wonderful photos, Mark. How lucky you are to have such noisy neighbours.

    Stunning photos!!! And they are stunning birds. Those calls are so haunting, eerily beautiful.

      I know the call you mean, out of the dark of night. Don’t know about the raucous hissing they do when I get close, or more like they get close to me. Not endearing … Reminds me of lizard warning.

      Thanks Rose.

        Amazing! I didn’t know about that warning hiss…I heard the lizard warning hiss recently from a very determined Major Lizard on his way to a water bowl, was fantastic!
