Inspiring and Supporting Photographers of Australian Birds

This website will be off-line from midnight Sunday/Monday 29th April
We will be installing a major upgrade to the website software.
We anticipate that this will take most of Monday to complete and test;
the site should be available for members and guests by Tuesday 30th April.
Following the upgrade, please report any problems to [email protected]
This Search facility will search all website content, uploaded documents, and images. Some content on this site is restricted to BLP members; visitors may not be able to access all the items found. The search options button on the All Photos page (on the Photo Gallery drop-down menu), and on individual gallery pages, provides more options for searching images only.

For those who missed it or would like to view it again, our recent Zoom Presentation by Jamie Van Leeuwen on "Is AI the Death of Bird Photography?" is now available.

Jamie discussed subjects such as the origins of AI, what it means for photography, and how it can be harnessed for bird photography.
The site has been upgraded to use Version 4 of Birdlife's Working List. The only significant changes are that Variegated Fairy-wren and Graceful Honeyeater have been split, into Variegated Fairy-wren and Purple-backed Fairy-wren, and Graceful Honeyeater and Cryptic Honeyeater, respectively. The other changes are the addition of 13 vagrants. The changes are detailed on the Resources - Taxonomic Changes page.
Our 2020 Members Survey showed that over 90% of responders would like us to develop a resource on our website for members to post information about recent field trips for the benefit of other members. We have set up a page for this purpose, at Resources - Road Trip Reports; committee member Doug Castle has provided a couple of articles to get the ball rolling. These reports are member-only access for two years; you must be logged in to see them.
If you would like to contribute to this resource, please send your report(s) to our website administrator, This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Don't worry about formatting; you can even send the report as an email message. You can include a couple of photos if you wish.
In May 2018 we had several members contact us to report that they have been unable to upload images to our galleries; the upload would hang, sometimes reporting a timeout error, sometimes with no error message. It appears that an update to the Safari web browser - the default for Apple systems - is the cause of this behaviour; this seems to be an on-going problem, and has been reported by other websites. Our continuing advice to Safari users who experience this problem is to change to an alternative web browser; we recommend either Chrome or Firefox.
The easiest way to contact us is by emailing us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
The Our People page, in the About Us section, contains email links to each of the committee members.
