A school of Strawberry Hussar swim past me and as they do everyone of them checks me out. Their movement is so well coordinated that as I swim between them they part, keeping about a metre away all the time and keeping the distance of a few cm between each other. They all change direction almost simultanously and they never even come close to bumping into one another. It is fascinating to watch the way these groups move as if aware of the position of every other individual around them. If we could learn to do this as well as them, many road accidents could be a avoided.
Ever since digital cameras became available I have been using them to take natural history pictures. I set out to see how many differnt species I could photograph and identify, and to try and understand how each creature fits into its given habitat. I made this website to display some of the things I've seen. The images were taken in various parts of Australia and noted in the labels. My identifications may not all be right, please dont hesitate to comment if you think i have it wrong
