Wow nardes, the Robin (?) is spectacular!

The second one is just as good a photograph, but the Robin is a stand out!

+1 but I am thinking it is a male Mistletoe Bird.


A coupla bodies and a few lenses

Thanks GB, much appreciated. The bird is the male Mistletoe bird and they love munching on those mistletoe berries making them easier to photograph.

Cheers

Dennis

Well done Dennis. I read about Oxley Creek so have been there twice but no luck with birds at all other than a magpie and some ibis at the dam

Thanks! We've had more success between 7-10am on winter mornings. In the summer it's just way too hot!

Cheers

Dennis

Some more recent captures that although posted in another thread thought I would post up under Wild Australian Birds as they are both native to Australia

Masked Lapwing - Katnook Wetlands

That would be a Square-tailed Kite ;)


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

Great set. Especially love the red tailed black cockatoo photo. All are nice, though. Although If I saw two galahs on a branch like that I think I would freak out!!!!

Thanks Ed. I don't know about the Galah behavior. There was a small flock hanging around the house we rented in Margaret River.
