Amphibians
Fungi
Despite their superficial resemblance to plants, fungi are in fact more closely related to animals, but are sufficiently different to both to place them in their own domain. They don’t photosynthesise, and so rely on external sources for their nutrition – which they obtain from breaking down dead organisms, so they play a very important role in the food web.
Some of them are also exquisitely beautiful, others not so much (no offence puff balls) ~ so I enjoy photographing them when I can. I’ve divided these into their types based on the excellent brochure “Fungi of south-east Queensland” by the Queensland Mycological Society
Corals
These are usually soft and can grow upwards or downwards
Australian Bird Photos
I don’t take too many photos of birds, because I concentrate on filming them – but here’s some stills I’ve taken, and occasionally I’ll take a still out of a video sequence.

Recognising bird calls is one of the most effective ways to identify birds, however bird calls can vary around the country, and the same species can have different accents, dialects and calls depending on where they are.

Birds are something I’ve loved my whole life – the earliest memory I have of seeing any birds was when I lived in Darwin and was about 4 years old, and seeing a flock of Red collared lorikeets landing in a tree on the nature strip.

I find plants fascinating things. Their cellular system of organisation without a central nervous system is completely different to ours and highly durable, and they also look nice too (LOL) Every now and again I photograph them

With their tough dry scales and thick shelled eggs reptiles are well adapted to Australian conditions, and there’s plenty of them around here. Here’s some photos of some of the ones I’ve come across

Invertebrates get a bad rap – most people don’t like them, but they’re critical for our ecosystems and I doubt we could be here without them. I don’t go out of my way to find them, but when I do I’ll photograph them.
