Hey guys, my Red-tailed Cockatoo has made it into the finals of the 2025 Refocus awards.🥳

If you would like to help you can click on the link and vote in the People's Choice award. You can vote once a day, everyday until the competition closes too. (I don't know when that is so just keep voting everyday until it doesn't let you anymore 😆).

Once again I don't expect to win this one, the quality of images is spectacular, but absolutely blown away to be amongst them. 🙂

2025 People’s Vote Awards by reFocus Awards is now open

Absolutely stunning images short listed in the 2025 Birdlife Australia Photography Awards.

Take a look through, you might even catch one of my shots among them. After seeing the competition I don't think it has much chance of going any further but I am thrilled that my Angry Bird made it onto the list. 🥳

Winners announced next Monday I believe.

ANGRY BIRD

I had some time over the weekend to go back through some shots I hadn't worked on yet and found this beauty.
This is a Black-shouldered Kite according to my bird book - you know you're officially old when you have a bird book. 🤣
I can't decide if I like it more in colour or black and white so I will put the black and white in the comments and let you decide. 🙂
