 I must admit to having been particularly lucky about being able to see the dingo. Being a predator, it has more highly developed senses  than humans and it must have been the first one to notice us and to decide to let us see it. Like the koala and the kangaroo, it is a well-known symbol of Australia. It can pride itself on being the largest predator on the Australian continent. It belongs to the Canidae family and can weigh more than 20 kilograms. Despite being the biggest predator in Autrialia, his species is endangered with extinction.

So far I have not been lucky about dollarbirds.  An open air session in Spain was interesting due to a quarrel between the Lesser Kestrel and the European Roller about a nest box and dynamic images could be taken, but a concrete pole and sky in the background are the least desired elements of the landscape that you want to see in nature photography. Well, here in Australia it was not much better. The Oriental Dolarbird could be seen several times, but always in the same circumstances.

In Ushuaia, Patagonia, kelp gulls were quite common, and occasionally occurred South American terns (in colonies) and dolphin gulls. Dolphin gulls enriched significantly my photo collection of gulls, as their "blood-red accents" emphasize the beauty of this bird. Most of the pictures were taken in a harbor and the surrounding area. Photographing of these birds didn't caused difficulties, just as in the case of a black-headed gull on the Baltic Sea. The dolphin gull is a bit bigger than the black-headed gull.
