Jabiru

Another shot from Fog Dam in Kakadu. I absolutely loved visiting Kakadu.
My hard drive has died along with things being really crazy in my house. I was lucky that all my photos are on external drives. Hope to catch up this weekend. Thanks so much for stopping by :)

[Sheralee S]

@anazad511 You are coming here Ana?! Fantastic! Where are you going and how long will you be here?

[Sheralee S]

@rhoing Congratulations on retirement Thom! I will keep an eye out for you :) And thanks for the visit!

[Graham Thresher]

A fantastic shot, love it ! Fav

[Muse]

Impressive bird! Great capture!
You make me think it's time to back up my pics :-0

[Sheralee S]

@scatcat Yes, I was lucky not to lose anything. The biggest pain was finding my Lightroom catalogue, I was lucky to have my system engineer son on hand to retrieve it from the corrupt disk.

[Brianna]

What an elegant and graceful looking bird! Great capture x

[Dianne]

Wow - lovely colours on the head - great shot.

[Dianne]

Thank goodness your photos are safe on external hard drive.

[Sheralee S]

@dide thanks Diane, after nearly losing them the last time my hard drive died I have been a little more careful but probably still not careful enough.

[Kane Arlow]

Fantastic shot, they are a very pretty bird. I glad that your photo's survived. It does pay to have backup.

[Sheralee S]

@karlow75 it sure does, I imagine any 365er would be devastated to lose their photos.

[Call me Joe]

What a lovely shot and lovely bird:)

[Carole Imes]

What a beautiful bird.....great capture and love the colors. Ouch! Sorry about your hard drive...what a bummer.

[Darinka]

Beautiful capture!

[Lisa Pouncy]

Wow. The colour of its head is like a jewel xx

[🐞Lucy Dolittle]

What a handsome chap, gorgeous colours on his head.

[alia_801]

Wonderful shot - I love the colours in his head feathers too.

[Dawn Ulmer]

Fantastic color and detail.

[Leah]

Fabulous capture of this beautiful creature!!! What exactly is it? FAV!

[Sheralee S]

@lealady Thank you Leah and thanks for the follow :) The Jabiru is Australia's largest wading bird and only stork.

[Sheralee S]

@tomtom You really must go, it was even better than I expected.

[Jason Daniels]

we're not meant to call 'em Jabirus anymore :( I still will but.

[Sheralee S]

@bobfoto Really?! I didn't know that, lol. That was the only name I heard used while there.

[Jason Daniels]

@bella_ss - yeah they did a clean up of common names a few years back and these are officially known as Black Headed Storks (or something like that). The Jabiru is an Indian bird.

[Sheralee S]

@bobfoto thanks for that, Jabiru's a much nicer name :)

[Jason Daniels]

@bella_ss - it is.
