In 2016 I had this image short listed in the @southaustralianmuseum and @australiangeographic Nature Photographer of the Year competition. The Auckland Island Teal is a flightless duck species that was recovered from the brink of extinction by a groundbreaking recovery program. They are little conservation superstars. These two were photographed on Enderby Island on a trip through the sub-Antarctic islands with @david_stowe. - I've been shortlisted in this years @southaustralianmuseum and @australiangeographic Nature Photographer of the Year competition so I'm posting up images that have been shortlisted (or won) in previous competitions. - - - - - #nikon #nikonaustralia #birdphotography #birdsofinstagram #exclusive_wildlife #feather_perfection #birdsofaustralia #pocket_birds #nuts_about_birds #ig_discover_birdslife #bb_of_ig #birdlovers #birdfreaks #allmightybirds #allnatureshots #udog_feathers #igbirds #kings_birds #your_best_birds #birdextreme #bird_brilliance #eye_spy_birds #igscwildlife #majestic_wildlife #bestnatureshots #global4nature #birdselite #birds_adored #planetbirds #wildoz (at Auckland Islands)
