I have had a great year full of wildlife observations and have been able to snap quite a few photos of the wonderful birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates and flora. I would like to share a selection of them with you. I have included three photos from each month of 2014. I would be keen to know which photos people like the most. If you want to nominate a photo just go to the comments section at the end of the post and type in your choice.

Really difficult choice Greg. Great pics of many favourite subjects and settings, however I think the Kestral is outstanding!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kath, The Kestrel is really beautiful up close.
DeleteI love the lacewing shot.
ReplyDeleteYes it is a very beautiful and delicate creature. I will try to track down its name at a later date.
DeleteMy favourite is the Rehabilitated Eastern Grass Owl
ReplyDeleteYes, the members of the barn owl group, including the Grass Owl, are very photogenic.
