BirdLife Australia

Birds Australia and  Bird Observation & Conservation Australia (BOCA) are merging. The name of the new organisation is "BirdLife Australia". I have been a member of BOCA and its special interest group PhotoBOCA for several years. From today PotoBOCA is called "BirdLife Photographers" which means that I am now a proud BirdLife Photographer.

Below is one of my favourite bird images. It has appeared in "The Bird Observer" and been used by BOCA for educational purposes.
