   Dinner time at Lake Henderson. A300, 70-300G with some stubborn sensor dust... Ran the cleaning cycle, blown it several times with a rocket blaster. Guess it's time for the cotton swab. :-(

	Yeah, Frank those spoonbill shots rock! What an odd creature, looks like a platypus had fallen in love with an egret! regards, Bernd

	Thanks Bernd. I wish we got the Roseate Spinbills here as well - they're very special.

	Welcome to Dyxum Louise. I probably would have tried to isolate the birds or ducklings a little bit better as the stray "bits" detract from the main subject. But keep shooting, and next time make your posting size a bit bigger -- say 860 pixels wide. UPDATE: See from your Photostream that you have some shots such as Savernake_Park_28_04_09-53 which do isolate the subject. Edited by brettania - 29 April 2009 at 13:25
