Ed Pierce – bird photographer

I’m trying to contact Ed Pierce.  I believe he’s based in Townsville.

 

I’m updating my book ‘Best 100 Birdwatching Sites in Australia’ and would like Ed’s permission to use his beautiful photos again.

Birding-Aus Digest, Vol 80, Issue 19

I have a suggestion of what to do with all your bird magazines, especially current ones. I take mine, that on those rare occasions when I go to the doctor, accountant, palm-reader, etc., and leave them in the waiting rooms for other bored people to read. My guess it may gather some interest from people . . . → Read More: Birding-Aus Digest, Vol 80, Issue 19

Cuckoo-dove

There was a Brown Cuckoo-dove at the backyard wild bird feeder during this morning’s drizzle in Mulgoa Valley. Unusual down in the Valley itself, more frequent but still uncommon near the National Park at the top of Mayfair Drive but only seen around here by me in wet weather.

Cheers
