Pics from Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary

A picture of Allan feeding the wild (?) lorrikeets and me getting as close as I need to to a Sea Eagle...

Also a duck - that's what the girl in the picture is doing! And of course a koala.

Birds of Prey at Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary

The koala sanctuary is near Brisbane, and is the largest and oldest sanctuary for koalas. They have a bird of prey show, and though I need to remember to set the camera up properly for action shots - such as continuos focus, I got these two shots which are not too bad. In any case the timing was good...

The bird landing is a sea eagle - I have thermalled in my paraglider with one of these over Bright. The other is a wedge tailed eagle gliding over the lake towards the handler.
