This is a 1/32 slot car model of the 1961 Ferrari 156. It is a Super Shells kit on a Penelope Pitlane chassis.

An inquisitive Little Lorikeet.

There was a good sized flock of Yellow-tufted Honeyeaters with a few hangers-on having a bath and a drink in this small puddle.

This model representation of the famous Le Mans spectator walkover bridge was designed with LibreCAD and OpenSCAD. The parts were laser cut.

This video was taken hand held with a Canon R10 at the Plenty Gorge. There were two Black-fronted Dotterels busily feeding on the mud flats.

This video was taken from one RC boat to the other using an Akaso V50 Pro. As can be seen the camera struggled between the transition between full sunlight and shadow.

This video is cropped giving an effective focal length of 1920mm. Basically the bird was a long way away. Once again we had forgotten a tripod so the camera was resting on a camp stool, which was resting on the top of a fence post and it was windy! All ingredients for steady video :)

This Grey Fantail was building a nest. The procedure was to fly through spider's webs until it was covered in them and then return to the nest and work the web into the structure. This video was taken at some distance away to not upset the birds. It was hand held at this distance which has made it a bit shaky.

A Murray Short necked Turtle swimming quietly in a local lake. Video taken with a Canon R10, RF100-400 lens and x1.4 extender.

NERD alert - science is fun!! For some time we have wanted to record the call of the Peregrine Falcon and since we were already at the lake testing the RF800 lens, it was an ideal opportunity to do this. So we captured some video of one of the falcons obligingly sitting on the cliff face screeching (as they do). On playing back the video it was immediately obvious that the excessive shooting di...

Peregrine Falcon enjoying breakfast over 120m away from us on the cliff face. Taken using a Canon R10 with RF800 F11 lens and 1.4x extender. The cropped video (1.5x) was taken in 4K and then cropped to 1080p, a factor of 2. The effective focal length is 800 x 1.4 x 1.6 x 1.5 x 2 = 5376mm. Insane.

One of our local Sacred Kingfishers being very vocal. Not the most melodious calls. Apologies for the movement and sound as it was not our intention to take video so did not have the external mic or tripod with us. Hand held at an effective focal length of 1920mm is a little difficult.

This deranged Willie Wagtail persisted in continually attacking the back of the Kookaburra. This sequence is only a short section of the attack.

This White-faced Heron was contentedly working the beach at Point Cook for it's evening meal.
