Two glossy black Australian ravens (Corvus coronoides I think) perched on an orange lichen covered rock. They are looking away from one another. 
The background is the shining sea and waves crashing on rocky headlands.

Magpie siblings deciding who will be more dominant or just brothers arm (leg) wrestling? The one on the left is usually more dominant. Their sister watched on from the sidelines. They stayed in this position for over 2 minutes.

On my road trip last week I photographed some peaceful doves for the first time. This makes 130 bird species I've photographed in Australia.

Yesterday we were blessed by the presence of this beautiful Anhinga, aka Australasian Darter. This is a young male, I am guessing he flew up from the river for a little wander and look around πŸ‘€ (apologies for terrible video quality, seems to have been cut off in the upload?) #australianbirds

A wide shot of a Little Pied Cormorant perched on a small, weathered wooden stump protruding from a calm river. Next to the bird is a larger, thicker dead tree trunk also emerging from the water.

The water has a slight ripple and reflects the light brown and green tones of the distant bank. The riverbank in the background is covered in dry grass and low lying shrubs. The overall colour palette is muted with earthy tones of brown, tan, and soft blue grey.

The Pied Currawong dawn chorus... It's beautiful to listen to but how I miss seeing all the tiny birds that used to visit.

A Superb Fairywren male is perched on a branch surrounded by bright green leaves with serrated edges. He's looking to the left of the photo. He's a dull brown, almost entirely round bird (a borb, if you will). His underside is paler grey. He has a short dark beak and a dark eye. Behind him, his long, thin, perky tale is dark blue. His very thin legs and feet are brownish orange. I'm always grateful when a Little Brown Bird stays still long enough for me to focus and take a clear shot. There are many different species of tiny birds in the environment near me, and their only defence is to move very quickly and be very wary of any changes to their environment.

It’s the time of year when Superb Fairywrens lose their breeding plumage so now the males are quite dull brown with only their blue tails to give away their previous bright colouring. #photography #AustralianBirds

A Weebil on a sun-dappled Eucalypt twig in the early morning. It's a very small bird (like, REALLY small) with a short, blunt bill. The bird is mid brown overall, but has a pale yellow underside. It has a strikingly clear hazel eye. It has very thin grey legs and feet. The twig it's on is reddish brown, and in the distance can be seen a light blue sky and very blurry trees.

The wonderful thing about morning birdwatching is the lovely light and busy birds foraging. This Weebill was about three metres away from me. #photography #AustralianBirds

A large group of Pied Currawongs arrived in the backyard this morning.  Among them was the one on the left which has half of its bill missing but still seems quite healthy, for now.

A Pacific Black Duck sitting on very still, bright blue water with a very clear reflection underneath. The duck is looking to the left and is mostly dark brown with paler edged feathers. Its head has distinct dark stripes with beige. It has a red-brown eye. The bill is very dark green with some mid green areas. There are some small spots and bubbles visible on the water, and I left these in, because it shows that for all its mirror finish, this is still a real working pond.

Visited a new pond in my area, and it was a perfectly still, bright morning. #photography #AustralianBirds
