Really like the picture of the Golden-headed Cisticola.
The weather in Melbourne is my preference for bird watching...... hot.
UK weather is not conducive to me wanting to sit in dark, cold, damp places where you are more likely to get trenchfoot than a decent picture!

I was lucky with the Cisticola, it landed on some reeds near where I was standing.

If you have been watching any of the Australian Open, it has been hot and humid of late. Although we're currently having a couple of days of stormy weather.

I was going to ask Richard what that blue background was :lol:
I feel for you all during the winter months. This is why I go out photographing native orchids and fungi during Autumn and Winter.

I decided to have a go at photographing Grey-headed Flying Foxes (Fruit Bats) skimming the water. It was so hot, 36DegC, I didn't stay too long. The bats are fair moving as they skim the water. Gives me an excuse to go back again.

The Z fc and 100-400mm struggled at times getting the subjects in-focus before they skimmed the water as they came out of the trees. Also the 5fps just wasn't fast enough. If I get a Z 9 I will endeavour to try it again. 

Flying foxes skim rivers, creeks or lakes to get their bellies wet, then lick the water off their fur during hot days to cool down.
