Yep. Light Morph Richard. We also get a Dark Morph

Did someone mention Cockatoo's............

Major Mitchell's, Mollis sub-species. Note the lack of yellow in the crest. From Ormiston Gorge outside Alice Springs

Spinifexbird and Spinifex Pigeon.

Spinifex Pigeons are easy, Spinifexbirds are bloody hard work

Excellent series!

I know the birds and animals here pretty well. I've always been fascinated with Australian wildlife. Especially the Outback.

couple from today. Bucket loads of rain hasn't put off the wrens
These two were enjoying themselves.
The difference in male plumage is amazing.
I've been watching colour changes but the first one below may have been same I photographed a month or more back. I really dontt know how long they take to change to their full breeding colours
One of the all blue boys was chasing a female with a yellow petal yesterday being amorous :-P
