In summer, they get fly strike quickly, then they can get nasty.<br />But I completely agree, it is always worth checking.<br />Joy's Gannet is a perfect example. How often do we get to examine a deep ocean bird?<br />Thanks Mark.<br />PS How is the baby?<br />Cheers<br />DenisDenis Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10031115992910569116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-58006535674228011172011-08-05T14:09:10.688+10:002011-08-05T14:09:10.688+10:00G'day Denis, I agree with you about using the ...G'day Denis, I agree with you about using the opportunity to study dead birds/animals when the opportunity presents itself. I saw what I thought was a dead Crested Tern last week and half wondered about what had happeded to it. Unfortunately it was too badly decomposed to take too many images.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12481095799939220844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-59592118095650782502011-08-05T14:00:49.381+10:002011-08-05T14:00:49.381+10:00Duncan has replied to me off line, but I think it ...Duncan has replied to me off line, but I think it is appropriate to share his comments.<br />He said: <br />"Thanks Denis, you're very kind. it's good to see the proliferation of Australian nature blogs since we started out, can't have too much of a good thing.<br />I have your blog in my Google Reader so always know when you've found a new orchid or such like!<br />.<br />Very warm down here, sandals, shorts and shirt weather, but it's supposed to break soon.<br />.<br />All the best and keep up the good work, Duncan."<br />.<br /><b>Its that last message I wish to share with all Aussie Nature Bloggers.</b><br />Cheers<br />DenisDenis Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10031115992910569116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-69735063140655676612011-08-05T13:58:16.541+10:002011-08-05T13:58:16.541+10:00Thanks Brigid.

I smile at his periodic enthusiasms when all of a sudden things like moths take over for a while. The National Library "collects" blogs from time to time as examples of excellence in the genre...and Duncan is in that collection quite justifiably.<br /><br />I also popped over to Joy's blog. Wonderful photography. <br /><br />I was pleased to hear that Facebook did the right thing. I always link to the site from which I took the photograph. When it is original artwork, I put it up and link and attribute and then immediately write to the artist or the artist's agent for permission. I do this because this is someone's living. I put the picture up before asking permission so it can be seen how I am handling the work...but I promise to take it down if permission is refused. I have never been refused.<br /><br />The only time when I have been 'called' is with a photograph of the Agnes Goodsir painting, Girl with Cigarette (http://bit.ly/oStlf1). I had picked it up along with a few others from the net. However, the original is held (unbeknown to me at the time) by the Bendigo Art Gallery and they emailed me and asked me to remove it - which I did.Brigidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862531789968068093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-81750595603717635152011-08-04T22:29:16.407+10:002011-08-04T22:29:16.407+10:00Thanks Snail - I understand completely.
