The legend of the phoenix. A mythical bird that lives for an eternity in cycles of 500 to 1000 years, ending every life cycle by igniting in flames and turning to ash, only to be reborn from the very ashes itself. It's rebirth as a stronger and more powerful entity. Stories of the phoenix have been told as far back as ancient Egyptian times. This is a very personal piece. It's one that I have needed to create for a long time. It's also one that I didn't know how to create, or even if I would be able to. I recently saw "this piece":http://www.redbubble.com/people/shotomanrob/art/7252950-from-the-ash-i-rise by "Rob Toombs":http://www.redbubble.com/people/shotomanrob and was inspired to complete my own version. Big thank you to Ro...

A face only a mother could love? This masked booby chick was not bothered at all by my presence and gave me some great poses for the camera.

One of Australia's most colourful birds, seen in great numbers around the Queensland coast.

The first time I ever saw a Mallee Ringnecked Parrot, at Arkaroola in outback South Australia on a recent photography tour.

Perched on a rock overlooking the ocean, this Nankeen Kestrel could not have picked a better spot to pose for a photo.

A crested tern flies in to join the party at Shelly Beach in Caloundra, Queensland.

I have hosted numerous tours on Norfolk Island but I have never before had an opportunity to photograph the Red Tailed Tropic Bird in flight from such close quarters. A truly beautiful bird and poetry in motion.

These migrating seabirds nest on Norfolk Island and it is always a joy to find a colony of adults and chicks on the sea cliffs. This cute chick is getting bigger but still has its 'baby fluff,' yet to get it's adult feathers.

We saw many of these African Fish Eagles on our tour but rarely could we get close enough for a decent photo, so this sighting on the Chobe river cruise was a great opportunity.

It's hard to believe a family of Rainbow Lorikeets live inside that knot in the gum tree but they do. I caught this moment of one of the adults arrived home.

Highlighted in the sun against a shady background, you could be mistaken for thinking this was a professional model in a studio!

For all the years I owned my gallery, this was consistently my most popular kookaburra photo. I don't know if he had any formal modelling training but he definitely knew how to strike a pose.

The Eastern Great Egret is a permanent resident at Lake Baroon, Maleny. Very close to my home and has been the subject of some great photos...it really knows how to pose!

Travelling in the Top End it seems like Whistling Kites are constant companions - they are everywhere! And they provide some great photo opportunities, this one captured just in the instant of taking flight.

The world's largest kingfisher is an iconic symbol of the Australian bush.

The Lilac Breasted Roller is such a beautiful bird, but as common in Africa as our Kookaburra at home. Our guides had to be reminded to stop so we could take photos...they are so common they thought they were not worth stopping for!

My first really good look at a Woodland Kingfisher, a truly beautiful African bird.

Each year when the bottlebrushes come into flower in our area, a colony of Scarlet Honeyeaters move in...to the delight of all the local bird photographers.

Ospreys are one of the best birds of prey to photograph ,those talons and that intense glare in the eyes makes you happy that you are not their prey. This osprey headed took after after finishing a meal and flew straight in my direction creating on opportunity of a lifetime. Taken at Kings Beach, Caloundra in Queensland.

A rare moment captured as the adult Little Wattle Bird gently delivers a snack to her young.

Rainbow Lorikeets are some of the most colourful birds in Australia and very common on the East Coast. This was taken just around the corner from my home.

The sparkle in his eyes says he knows he is the star of this show. This kookaburra has a great sense of dramatic light.

A kookaburra in a gum tree...about as iconic as you can get for an Australian wildlife image.

This osprey had eaten every other part of the fish but had some work to do swallowing that large tail. He got there in the end...

My photo of an iconic Australian bird with a dash of digital art applied.

It helps to know where the ospreys live and feed. After a good meal they will head down to the nearest pool of water to wash up.
