20150524 - Australia - “Fingers” Mitchell Cullen is a talented multi-instrumentalist from Albany, Western Australia. I had the pleasure of meeting him when he came to the North West Cape as a headline act for the Ningaloo Whaleshark Festival 2015. This photograph was taken at the Exmouth Yacht Club during that tour. He is a Sea Shepherd supporter and named his 2015 album Shepherd of the Seas and gained permission to use the Sea Shepherd logo on the cover. - PHOTO BY 2015©TomBalks.com/Tom Balks, all right reserved. -

The Osprey nest on the coast of the Cape Range is one that I regularly visit to monitor the pair and their annual brood. I was ready at sunrise to capture the first catch of the day. Ospreys (Pandion Haliaetus) usually mate for life, so while one partner is sitting on the nest looking after the eggs (of which there can be up to four) the other one goes hunting for fish which makes up 99% of their diet. They can detect under water objects from up to 10-40 m above the water. The typical lifespan is 7-10 years.Rarely, individuals can grow to as old as 20-25 years. The Osprey is the second most widely distributed raptor species, after the peregrine falcon worldwide and in Australia. - Photo by 2013@Tom Balks/TomBalks.com all right reserved. -

This photo was in Finalist in the 2014 Veolia Environnement Wildlife Photographer of the Year. Category:“Reptile.” This young Perentie (Varanus giganteus), the Australian version of the monitor lizard, will reach over 2.5 metres in length, making it the largest lizard in Australia. I was looking for a bird of prey to photograph in North West Cape, when I was lucky enough to come across this little fella, looking for a feed (snakes are a favourite snack). Despite their size, perenties are rarely seen. - photo by 2012©Tom Balks/TomBalks.com, all right reserved. -
