A beautiful silhouette of a Little Black Cormorant croaking perched on a low branch.
I took this photo late in the afternoon at Herdsman Lake, facing the golden glow of the suns setting on the west…

These are the three stages of the iconic Australian Grass Trees flower spikes.

From right to left you can see the spike with some of the flower buds about to open, then the ones in full bloom and the last one, probably from the year before already seeded and started to decompose 🐛...
There are so many interesting facts about these plants. One fact that caught my attention is that the flowers on the spike usually start opening in the sunniest and warmest part first, and because we are in the Southern Hemisphere that means the first flowers to open are facing North... natures Compass 🧭 😍

A Gull Billed Tern in the middle of the WA Outback, wandering around a lake that fortunately was full at that time of the year.
It was amazing to see these birds that we always relate with the ocean, that far from it 😍

Just when I thought I was not going to be able to see any Southern Emu Wren I heard their distinctive call that I was playing to myself for so long to get use to it, that similar song of the Fairy Wrens but much higher in tone 😍.
It was taken the last morning we were staying in Albany at Mount Clarence before we head back home to Perth!
