Robert's Ramblings is my place to show my passion for this amazing world.

Images, words and insights are my way of sharing that passion.

Welcome to my blog.

One of the great things about writing to my images is learning about the things I capture.

Maybe I have seen this species of bird before but I certainly could not have been sure let alone describe it. Now I can say with reasonable confidence, it is a White-faced Heron, Egretta novaehollandiae which literally translates to 'Egret of New Holland'. Apparently they are quite common around waterways throughout all of Australia and I am sure I will notice them from now on.
