Interracial conflict amongst Little Egrets at Fogg Dam. In the left corner we have race nigripes from Australia, Indonesia and PNG up against the occasional vagrant, race garzetta, from Asia, Africa and Europe. Note nigripes' yellow lores and black feet (with yellow soles) versus garzetta's greenish grey lores and yellow feet. Needless to say, the Aussie saw the interloper off!:-D

Looks to be a very clean bird Richard, lots of rain recently?:-)

Also, is the outer "toe nail" on the bird's left foot also "bent" in #2?

Cheers

Dennis

Yes we've had rain on and off for some time, but last 2 weeks have been fine.
Definitely cleaner than I've had in past

It does look like it's foot is "bent"
I've a few other photos. Will check them.

Yellow-throated Honeyeater. Endemic to Tasmania
beautiful bird with a very distinctive and piercing call that travels far.
Restless bird, seldom stays in one place for any length of time unless feeding

Yellow-tailed Black-Cockatoo
they love the Silver Wattles, but are high up and get amongst the foliage

Suddenly they all decided to shift. This one had just landed and shows its beautiful tail feathers
Head a bit soft

and every evening they fly off into the sunset to roost for the night. No idea where.
They go in flights of 5 or 6, then two flights of 3 or 4
One of the great sights and sounds of the Aussie (Tasmanian) landscape
