Laratinga Wetlands

This morning I went to Laratinga Wetlands in Mount Barker to catch up with a couple of friends, and also to try out the Canon RF1.4 Extender.  The extender worked well with my RF 100-400 mm lens.  The auto focus was slightly slower, and the focus a little softer, both of which are to be expected.

Here are some of the shots I took.  Pacific Black Duck and Grey Teal are both common here

There was also a couple of very confiding Australian Spotted Crakes.   I took plenty of photos of them along with some video.

Warrawong Wildlife Sanctuary

This morning i paid a visit to Warrawong Wildlife Sanctuary, in the Adelaide Hills near Stirling.  This is a small privately run sanctuary with a mix of captive and wild animals and birds on site.

I was one of the first through the gate and was "mugged" by the Emus as I entered the enclosure LOL!

There were plenty of Kangaroos, mostly very chilled and not bothered by visitors

They have three dingoes on site.  This is Cletus 

The only birds I got photos of were the Rainbow Lorikeets.

A nice place to spend a couple of hours.
