These are some images from our outing to Serendip and the You Yangs.

Quite a number of us attended the outing to Serendip and the You-Yangs led by Merrilyn. We were very lucky with the weather. At Serendip the White-winged Choughs were busily sunning, and a grab shot Hannah managed made it possible to identify a Collared Sparrowhawk.

Highlights at the You-Yangs were two White-backed Swallows spotted by John, several male Flame Robins, and two Wedge-tailed Eagles on the ground waiting patiently for a ewe to leave her dead lamb.

Our next meeting will be a study night at National Office, at 7.30 (enter via back door) on July 14 for an evening presented by the Wildlife Artists Society of Australasia. It is a chance to learn from artists some of the techniques they use, and then apply them to your photography. It will be led by Rodger, one of our members.

If time allows, there will be a short brainstorming session to gain ideas of what members would like included in next year's program, so come prepared with suggestions!

The August meeting (Wednesday 25th) will also be a study night. It will be led by Damian and Rodger, and will be focused on "Getting organised". Most of us could use some help in managing images in our computers, so come along and make the most of their expertise. There may be an opportunity to ask questions at the end.
