Brown Thornbill. Common in a local park but so hard to get a photo.

Tawny frogmouth. Expect them to start nest building soon.

I heard on Friday that the Variegated fairy-wrens are in town. Got a few shots of this pretty boy late this afternoon.

Having a few good days birding. Got close enough to this Osprey (male) today for it to be able to hear the shutter.

Family of 5 Yellow-tailed black cockatoos were too engrossed in feeding to worry about my presence.

Sibling pair of Tawny frogmouths.

That would make them escapees not wild birds ;-)a


I prefer to be in the bush with the animals than a crowded city.
