Wet season in the east kimberley

During my latest field trip to the East Kimberley, I had an incredible experience observing a diverse range of wildlife. From the stunning Gouldian finches, Crimson finches, and Blue-wing Kookaburras, to the abundance of reptiles, I was captivated by the natural beauty that surrounded me. The lush green wet season landscapes provided a breathtaking backdrop to the amazing creatures in their natural habitats.

Loggerhead turtle hatchlings

We had the rare opportunity to witness the magic of nature as loggerhead turtles hatched right before our eyes. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The sight of these tiny creatures emerging from their nest and making their way to the ocean was a true spectacle. I'm now inspired to capture the memory of this extraordinary event in a painting

Taking the time to appreciate the colours of the changing season while out bush this morning.
It's finally 2021... It is incredibly hot and humid here in the Kimberley! The weather can be very unpredictable, but I managed to go out bush to test out my home made easel/art box postie bike mod. I had a great time with my dog Frankie!
Wildlife is drawn to our precious water during these hot temperatures exceeding 40 degrees. I set up a small bird hide before sunrise to watch the incredible display of wildlife. Including: thousands of Budgerigars, Red-tail Cockatoos, Red winged Parrots and the incredible Dollarbird skimming the water for a drink.
The most spectacular bird I have photographed in the Kimberley, the Rose-crowned Fruit Dove!
