Meet my favourite place. The Leven Canyon, and it's breathtakingly beautiful floor and river. #Tassielife #tassie #tasmania #levenriver #levencanyon
There's nothing like a Tassie mountain range to put life into perspective. Oh, and we walked a LOT of steps today. #Tassielife #tassie #tasmania #levenriver #levencanyon #mushroom #bushwalking

π€ #levenriver By the river we slept Not a soul to be found The trees full of wattle Birdsong all around On a dusty road Down the hill we crept Debris on the pebbles Where the gums had wept By the stars we dreamt While the fire did dance A stumble of fete And a moment of chance
It never ceases to amaze me how people miss such interesting wildlife on their walks. This grey heron was just a few paces from the Leven towpath which was quite busy with walkers, joggers and cyclists. The plumage varies according to age and season. We tend to see these as simply herons or perhaps "grey herons", more specifically ARDEA CINEREA. Did you know that : In medieval times the heron was a favourite quarry of falconers who valued its great flying skills and ability to evade the falcon's stoops. Roast herons were also popular at medieval banquets: the young birds, called branchers, were thought to be the best to eat. The fat of a heron killed at full moon was once believed to be a cure for rheumatism. [RSPB]. I cover some of this on the EXPLORE WEST DUNBARTONSHIRE website : http://www.spanglefish.com/explorewestdunbartonshire/index.asp?pageid=731548 On the same short stretch of riverside that day I saw several mallard huddling, 5 goldeneye ducks cavorting, 1 cormorant trying to warm up, a goosander flying low upstream, various gulls, a thrush and a myriad of smaller birds darting around within the reeds and brambles. #birds #ornithology #WestDunbartonshire #waterbirds #LevenRiver #walks

Friday Fly Day ... and because I have quite a few duck photos, I'll pop up some info on the hybridization of our Pacific Black Duck with the Northern Mallard and how we can identify them. The differences are so subtle, and I have trouble telling the difference most of the time π This week we'll have a look at legs and bills. . . The Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) was introduced to Australia in the 1860s and has been spreading slowly across the southeast and other populated areas. Mallard populations in Australia are supplemented by the dumping of domestic ducks. Pacific Black Ducks and Mallards are closely related species and have similar habits and occupy the same environments. Where they are both present, the two species commonly crossbreed to produce fertile hybrids. A common misconception is that hybrids must have orange legsβ this is incorrect. The leg colour of PBD can range from grey/dark brown to orange. A good way to determine if natural or not is to view the legs in the shade, as bright sunlight often exaggerates the orange. A patchy or discoloured bill is quite easy to recognise, assuming you can get close enough to see. A pure Pacific Black Duck will have an evenly coloured slate-grey bill, sometimes with a hint of green. Obvious hybrids will have yellow/green, orange or red bills, often with large dark blotches. Subtle hybrids may have a green/yellow tinged bill, especially at the bill base and tip. Mallard bills can be yellow, orange, red or blotched-grey. ~eBird . . . #levenriver #birdplanet #birds #ig_birdphotography #birdphotographer #feather_perfection #feathers_of_australia #wildoz #wildlifetasmania #spreadingphotolove #naturephotographer #photography #i_spy_birds #wildlifephotography #birdlifephotographyaustralia #nuts_about_birds #birdlifeaustralia #birdsofinstagram #birdlifetasmania #NikonD500 πΈ #nikonphotography #nikonaustralia #nikonbirds #nikon_owners #MyNikonLife #tasmaniagram #tasmanianbirds

A sequence of shots from yesterdays trip with @levenrivercruises Back story >> One of the resident white-bellied sea eagles had just chased off a wedge-tailed eagle from its territory. It then came into land high up in the canopy of a eucalypt, the perch gave way and the WBSE inadvertently became a "wedgie". The irony ππ¦ Luckily, I have a camera that fires like a machine gun and somehow managed to capture the moment as it unfolded. π . . . . . #levenriver #planetbirds #birdplanet #birds #ig_birdphotography #birdphotographer #feather_perfection #feathers_of_australia #wildoz #wildlifetasmania #spreadingphotolove #naturephotographer #photography #i_spy_birds #wildlifephotography #eaglesofinstagram #nuts_about_birds #birdlifephotographyaustralia #birdlifeaustralia #birdsofinstagram #birdlifeoz #NikonD500 πΈ #nikonphotography #nikonaustralia #nikonbirds #nikon_owners #MyNikonLife
So blessed to be in the presence of this beautiful bird this morning β€οΈ I decided to book an early birthday present for myself and go out on another trip with Kim at @levenrivercruises π A week of watching the weather... is the weather going to be okay, isn't the weather going to be okay? The weather was perfect π I arrived at the pontoon just before 9am and waiting with Kim was the added bonus of Gaylene @tassiepossum who I hadn't met but we follow each other here on insta. π€ So, after hugs all around and some catching up, we headed off. It was only us three girls out on the river and it was simply the best. β€οΈ Thank you ladies for your awesome company x Heading back to the pontoon we came across the male and female white-bellied sea eagles sitting on a branch in the river. This one literally filled my frame as it left π Once I've done some post processing I'll be annoying you all for a while with sea eagle photos π Sorry, not sorry π . . . . #levenriver #birdplanet #birds #ig_birdphotography #birdphotographer #feather_perfection #feathers_of_australia #wildoz #wildlifetasmania #spreadingphotolove #naturephotographer #photography #i_spy_birds #wildlifephotography #eaglesofinstagram #nuts_about_birds #birdlifephotographyaustralia #birdlifeaustralia #birdsofinstagram #birdlifeoz #NikonD500 πΈ #nikonphotography #nikonaustralia #nikonbirds #nikon_owners #MyNikonLife #tasmaniagram

Leven Canyon offers a couple of alternative hikes to Cruikshanks Lookout, The Edge Lookout and the Devilβs Elbow. The more precarious hike along a cliff edge with many stairs and down a ladder leads to the base of the canyon. It gives you a great view of the Devilβs Elbow where the Leven River turns dramatically like a v shape (or elbow). When you reach the base of the canyon you can really appreciate the force of the river where a huge pile of forest timber lays on the banks. There are many massive circular holes eroded in the rocks from the force of the water. A fascinating spot! #cruickshankslookout #theedge #devilselbow #levenriver #levencanyon #tasmania #discovertasmania
