Green rosellas, a Tasmanian endemic, sometimes look rather drab compared to other rosellas. But this one on approach for a landing shows some lovely shades of blue. This time of year they're working hard a aerating the lawn, digging up grass and onion grass bulbs.

🎼Sound up for the dawn chorus… West Aussie style 🎼
This large flock of Black Cockatoos (presumably Carnaby’s given the numbers) comes over our house at around dawn each morning currently.
Best alarm clock you could ever have!!

4 ibises on the edge of a dam
1 ibis walking along edge of a dam
A lot of people don't like ibises - and they do hang out at the tip eating rubbish. But they are beautiful when you see them flying and wading in the dam. They are probably eating the little frogs though. #ausbirds #photography #southerntablelands #ibis
front on image of a colourful male Red Rumped Parrot with a mouthful of flowers/seed/petals of a local native ground cover.
Lately a flock of 14 Red-rumped Parrots have moved into the area to feed on various ground cover seeds and flowers. They can be quite confiding and calm just hopping out of the way when people walk past. #wetlands #YalikutWillamNatureReserve #RedrumpedParrot #ausbirds #birds #naturephotography
A white headed pigeon flew into our window leaving a clear impression of it's feathers. It survived. #AusBirds #AustralianBirds
Pigeon strike 🤒 it survived.

Photo of an young Australian King Parrot
Visited the local wetlands for a quick bird survey and found a small group of juvenile King Parrots feeding in the flowering gums. Uncommon around here but a welcome colourful visitor as they migrate through. #ausbirds #KingParrots #YalikutWillamNatireReserve #wetlands #birds #naturephotography
Satin bowerbird sitting in a tree.
Beautiful female Satin Bowerbird I found.
The rest of the tree had a dozen sulphur crested cockatoos.

The beautiful Australian Ringneck parrot (Barnardius zonarius)
Found across much of Australia with four described subspecies, this looks to be Barnarduis zonarius zonarius, or the Port Lincoln Ringneck given the yellow feathers on the abdomen.

Rosella around today, brought one of his kids but he's making them sit up in the tree on lookout

I really didn't think this would finally happen in Australia. Our country has the worst record for species extinction on the planet.

A currawong, a large black bird, looks straight into the camera, standing on a few sticks in front of a pan of water.

Our trees are chipped for cardboard. Here's cardboard used to create some of the unique mammals Australia is losing.

Picture of a CURRAWONG - definitely NOT a magpie, as you can tell by the eye colour
Hey #Birds and #ausbirds I have been informed that what I previously thought were magpies are in fact pied currawongs. I learned that in time to understand today that the turf war outside my window was between two magpies and two currawongs, not four magpies.
#apologies for the misinformation
New bird in the yard! Very shy spotted dove that flew off before I could get a good shot

Photo of male red-backed fairywren perched on a twig with green bokeh background. It is a very small bird with the long tail feathers unique to these types of birds. Its tail feathers are held vertically, and are longer than the entire body of the little bird. It is black, with a reddish-orange band around its shoulders and back, and light brown edges on its wings.

This is a picture of damp soil in the forest. There’s some little plants, adorned with dewdrops. Also there’s a bird. It’s mostly brown, with a grey head and fabulous white eyebrows.
I love White-browed Scrubwrens. They are so Small but their personalities are Big. #ausbirds
Tawny frogmouth on a gravestone
Two tawny frogmouths in a tree
First night of fieldwork, and Kaori (one of my PhD supervisors) took these amazing photos of tawny frogmouths through the thermal scope.
🦉🪦🌳🦉🦉🌳
Who would have thought? Tawny frogmouths love cemeteries.
And I love tawnies.

This is a picture of a lot of ducks on a mud bank.
More ducks, mostly Australasian Shovellers, this time swimming. There's one on the far right that's got some incredible eyeliner going on, he's probably going to join some kind of emo band.
I've apparently reached the stage of my life where being invited to go to a sewerage treatment plant to look at waterfowl is genuinely my idea of a great social outing. RIP to my youth I guess. Anyway, here's a bunch of (mostly) ducks. #birding #ausbirds
Adult Musk Lorikeet - A family of Musk Lorikeets rested during the heat of the day in a flowering gum, and dipped into the shallow waterway below. Napping, preening and yawning.

Photo of a calm sea with rugged pointy mountain peaks in the distance. A wedge-tailed shearwater is flying low over the water in the foreground. It is a dark-coloured seabird, with long thin wings and a small stubby tail.

Young Tawny Fogmouth staring at me from around a tree roost spot.
Tawny Frogmouth at the local wetlands reserve. The juveniles are always very curious about what one is up to when walking under their daytime roost spots. #birds #ausbirds #yalikuwillamnaturereserve #wetlands #tawnyfrogmouth #natureinteraction #australia #naturephotography
