From the heart of dying suns, the heavy elements that compose us were born, scattered as stardust across the void. ✨💫 We are a fleeting constellation, made of the very fabric of the cosmos, gazing back at our source. 🌟🌌 #Stars #Stargazing #Astrophotography #Cosmos #nature #NightPhotography #night

Common Moorhen enjoying the lagoon. These adaptable birds are omnivores. They'll feast on everything from insects and small fish to seeds and aquatic vegetation. 🐔🌿🌾 #birds #birdphotography #nature #wildlife #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #photography #Australia #birding #birdwatching

Masked Lapwing chicks are precocial, meaning they are born with a full covering of down, can run, and forage for food almost immediately after hatching. 🐣🐔🐥 #birds #birdphotography ##nature #wildlife #wildlifephotography #Australia #naturephotography #birding #birdwatching #birdwatchers #Canon

This Little Wattlebird is primarily a nectar feeder, using its brush-tipped tongue to sip from flowers. It also eats insects and sometimes fruit, playing a key role in pollination. 🌿🐝🌼🌻🌸🏵🐦 #birds #birdphotography #nature #wildlife #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #birding #birdwatching
