Comment | 'Tiger Snake Alert!' Walking on the concrete track coming back from the observation platform at Bibra Lake after a morning’s shoot, I noticed this excited Red Wattlebird moving around erratically, hopping up and down trees and down to the ground, as here, always focusing on one spot in the tall grass. I put my camera rig down and watched for movement in the grass, and soon I caught a glimpse of a black object sliding along. And, briefly: There it was! A big, black Tiger Snake. I would have watched and photographed the wattlebird marking the snake for more than 5 minutes, before the snake disappeared, and the wattlebird took off satisfied that the snake was no longer a threat. Time of capture11:23. | ||||||||||||||||||
