Photos from the bush

Can you spot the bird disguised in this photo?
Clicked this one out and beyond Laverton, was photographing likely gold producing ground and didn't realise there was a bird in in on the photoshoot.

There's a lot in that photo! - I'm still looking for the bird cos I find myself distracted by the geology, especially a quartz piece in the lower right foreground containing what looks to be Stylolites. Depending on where you are in Australia stylolites are considered an "indicator". You might be on the money Nightjar

Thanks Grubstake, West Aussies are just a little different from our East Coast cousins.

• ‘A cockeyed bob is a squall that blows into the northwest coast of Australia during the summer months.’

Those familiar with the breakaways in WA have seen the pine like trees growing up against the ridge. Here I was able to climb to the top of a breakaway (not the one in below photo) and take these photos of a Wedge Tailed Eagle chick in its nest. *** One eye was in the sky watching for parents**
