White-faced Heron

Platypus Shoot

During my platypus shoot yesterday I was also able to photograph this water bird while waiting for the platypus to resurface.  The White-faced Heron or Egretta Novaehollandiae is very common around the Sunshine Coast (Trevor Ford, "Waterbirds and Raptors of Coastal South East Queensland)

Sunset

Last Sunset 2012

Beautiful sunsets are always worth watching.  Whether on the coast at a beach or in central Australian deserts, each have their own unique flavours. In this case it was the last sunset of 2012 seen from Mooloolaba.
