It,s not often I see one that big, It can hang on , with those hooks on the end of its legs. I relocated it to our pond garden, It should be happy there...:)
 
And after some research I found this..
Titan Stick Insect (Acrophylla titan). Also known as Great Brown Stick Insect and Great Brown Phasma. Largest known insect in Australia.
Eats gum leaves, so I relocated it again... :thumbsup:
 
Apparently Hi-viz jackets make great bird scarers. My mate uses them in the winter months to keep birds off his fishing lake, . . . . . . . . apparently.

Here is what I use to locate the faint fuzzy things I occasionally post up as my offerings, The Bino's are 20 x 80 Triplets and too heavy to hold steady, so I built this brain fart . It works quite well, surprisingly. The surveyors tripod bit I bought, the rest is the labors of a lunatic.

Full zoom on p900. That's a sharp picture. Do you carry a tripod? Or do you just have rock steady arms?

My sony wx500 at full optical zoom is almost impossible to hold steady. I let it take 10 shots and hope one of them decent. It has a fraction of your zoom but then it fits in my pocket without me getting arrested.

I hear what your saying, normally I just lean against something, the Image Stabilization is pretty good too. but there is a little bit of shake in the picture. Also the image on a P900 deteriorates rapidly when you go into digital zoom, well its only 16m pixels or so , I guess its not bad though for what it is..

I find just 1 or 2 x into digital zoom is ok. After that then zooming and cropping on the PC is better.
 
Why have the leaves changed colour as well?

Great photos though.

One picture was taken just before dawn, without a flash. the other in daylight. The camera has clearly compensated for low light and thrown a green hue in that image. However it is clear the the frog changes colour. It's quite obvious looking by eye, hence I took the second photo..I wonder if its temperature related or some kind of natural camouflage :thumbsup:. I might have to look it up...
 
Very nice Steve, any snow ?
