Arapaima Gigas


This Arapaima Gigas, an Amazon fish, lives in a pond in the elephant resort in Bali. It was rescued from a small private pond which he has outgrown and relocated to the big pond at the resort. The skin of the fish is amazing.

Bali insect

This red kind of dragon fly was flying around the elephant resort I visited in Bali this week. Very pretty with a nice deep red/black colour. Only thing weird is that it looks like it's wings are the wrong way attached...

Black Cockatoos

Yesterday we cycled along the Swan River and came across this big flock of Black Cockatoos. You first hear them before you discover they are all over the trees on the north bank of the river near Mosman Park.

Raven

This is Kiki, my young raven who is visiting me every day since that big storm in March. Always keen for a morsel of food and a play with my hair. Here he is sitting in the mulberrie tree which is rapidly losing its leaves for winter.
