I spotted this beehive high up on a dead tree while doing some research into some old ruins. Cheers Raoul

cool. Is that selective colouring, or just a grey tree?

That is wild! Can you get a closer shot? a macro would be stunning of the honeycomb. I know that might be asking a tad much though.

Really, Colin! Would you climb up a dead tree with your camera gear to get in touch with a swarm of wild bees?

Great shot, Raoul! Hope you were in a safe distance!

Wouldn't stop this fella.

hi guys, yes thats the trees original color,and no i don't feel like climbing a 20ft tree to get stung by a few thousand bees, but i do agree with you it would make a good macro shot. These Rainbow lorakeets were also on the same tree but right on the top branch. Cheers Raoul

This is so refrehing - like a drink of cool water...

You wouldn't happen to have been at Bold Park (on Ocean Reef Rd) would you???

I've been there a few times now and the wildlife, mostly birds, is amazing!!

Love the photos, I can't seem to get my birds "really" in focus...any pointers????

Hi Mez, no this was shot at Birba Lake on the opposite side of the main facilities, its a nice walk through the natural bush there,though i wouldn't recomment it in the summer when the tiger snakes become active.
As for shooting i leave my camera in auto mode, it does all the work and the pics come out good 99% of the time.
Thanks for the tip on Bold park, i will take a trip out there during the week.
Cheers Raoul.
