One of the reasons I’ve stayed in a rather lovely hotel on the river is because of all the beautiful bird life around here – ducks, swans, cockatoos and other various winged creatures. Early this morning I woke to a chorus of different bird songs but I drifted back to sleep. Later, when I got up, I went out to the balcony with my camera to take some photos and guess what? No birds.
I’ve been waiting over an hour now and still no birds! I have to check out of the hotel soon and go and see Son, so I’ve decided to take some shots of the beautiful black swan in my room. He didn’t mind being photographed at all and remained very still for the close-ups.
