Jacky Dragon giving me a wave - they communicate by body movement.

The Jacky #Dragon was one of the very first #Australian reptiles to be formally named by Europeans in 1790. They have a sophisticated visual communication system based on movement: tail flicks, arm waves, push-ups, and body rocking. This little guy was giving me a wave.

An Eastern #Koel showing off its #stripes for the #BirdOfTheDay alt theme. They are parasite broods, coming to Australia to breed. This juvenile was getting ready to migrate to New Guinea.

They are little ninjas and I'm always surprised when I get one half in focus :)

Thanks :)

Being in australia, my BOTD posts often get muddled up. By the time I see the theme, its already often shifting into the next day :D

A mated pair of Crimson Rosellas have made my front yard their territory. They bicker with the neighbours daily and own this birdbath, I just pay the mortgage. #BirdOfTheDay #StandingInWater

At the end of every summer, male Superb Fairy wrens swap their brilliant blue for drab brown. This little guy doesn't seem to mind, he's too busy enjoying a bath with his lady. #SmallBirdSaturday

For today's #BirdOfTheDay I thought I would post a video featuring my favourite little ninjas, Silvereyes, gleefully enjoying a bird bath. I love these little guys, always so playful.

Tawny frogmouth blending into the eucalypt canopy

Is it a bird, is it a branch? It's #BranchBirds ! Tawny frogmouths feathers mimic broken chunks of bark. Another, less appealing camouflage tactic involves spraying poo at threats to confuse and disorientate predators.
