I met Walabie in the areas abundant with lush green flora. The kangaroo prefers to live in the dry bush. Walabie live in small groups, they rarely live alone. Compared to the eastern grey kangaroo, wallabies are rather tiny. They weigh about a dozen kilograms, not more than twenty kilograms. They are about 85 cm long. They inhabit the north of Australia and remain active at night.

It occurs only in the mountains, at an altitude of approximately 1800 - 3000 meters. So there are not many places in Poland where you can find this bird, because these are almost exclusively the High Tatra Mountains. To locate the best place to observe the bird with maximum  likelihood of a success again well-wishing birdwatchers were very helpful as well as hints and information found on the Internet – the peak Kasprowy Wierch (1987 m ASL). There is no problem with reaching the summit if one accepts the cost of tens zloties per ticket.

In Poland it was found several times (until May 2022). So, it is difficult to take pictures of this swift in our country. I took these presented photos in Dubrovnik at the end of May 2022. Here Alpine Swifts are common. You can photograph them surrounded by the beautiful sights of Dubrovnik. One can does not mean that it is easy. Limited by the carry-on luggage of a budget airline, I decided to take only a 400/5.6 lens with me, as it was not a birding trip this time. Unfortunately it was probably not the best choice and it was difficult to take good pictures.

There were no problems with photographing the American crocodile. The first pictures were taken from quite an unusual perspective, namely from a height, from a bridge. Maybe it’s even better, as when the tourists dropped anything from the bridge to the river in the vicinity of the crocodiles resting in the sunshine, we could observe a massive attack of several crocodiles to seize the potential prey. There was another opportunity to take more interesting pictures from a boat, especially in the company of stilts.
