Noisy miners (Manorina melanocephala) - Kedron Brook, Brisbane, Australia - April 2024
This photo is notable because it's the first photo I've done using Linux for my entire end to end post processing. My workflow isn't close to as efficient as it was in Lightroom, but it feels good to be free of it!
My looong journey to @everythingopen started this afternoon. I'm really excited about this trip (my first time visiting Australia). 🙏🏽 I cannot wait to meet/make new friends on the other side of the world. 🌏
I’m on a tram in Naarm/Melbourne- weee. #Brisbane - we need to bring these back. Or at least the Metro needs major expansion onto public roads.
(Saw a Metro on Kingsford Smith Drive on Tuesday.)
We watched this young Laughing Kookaburra for a while, hoping for a shot with some exciting prey. It swooped down from this hunting spot a few times, but for the most part I think it got to eat mud and bark (as evidenced by the beak-tip decorations)
The young birds have entirely black beaks, and what would be black features on the adult's face are brown
Hopefully it had better luck later, without our audience
