When I photographed this red-footed falcon, I was simply thrilled to have it so close. Only later, while looking at the image, did I realize what it was holding in its beak, a lizard.

A reminder that every moment in nature tells a story. Sometimes, that story hits harder than expected.


Of course, I know that the falcon has to eat. But witnessing this moment even unintentionally touched me.

Every year when I'm able, I take part in the annual Glossy Black Cockatoo survey. These birds are classified as Vulnerable to Endangered. Each year, I find evidence of the birds but no birds. The survey is usually Sept.

So this year, I decided to head out a month and a bit earlier than the official survey, and it paid off. I spotted a small flock of 6 birds, and managed to have a close encounter with a male/female pair feeding.
