My interest in birds began in 2006 with a visit to the Broome Bird Observatory.  While I was there I participated in the cannon netting, volunteered to help with the mud sampling, and attended my very first bird call in the camp kitchen.  This is where my story began.

From a point and shoot Pentax, which captured so many memories of the BBO, I progressed to a Canon EOS R5 which I use today.

I have been a member of Birdlife Photography since 2014 and have found the resources that are available to members invaluable in my photography journey.

I live in Narrabri which is located in western New South Wales. I am fortunate that my husband, Innes, also enjoys birding and together we enjoy discovering new and exciting birding places in this wonderful country we call home.

I am now retired after spending my working life in an accountancy practice and at the same time being responsible for the financial side of our own small business. In accepting the position of Treasurer my aim is to work closely with Birdlife Australia to ensure the Birdlife Photography continues to have appropriate financial systems in place.
