Head side on, a black bird with a white patch on the nape of its head stands with one leg tucked up resting on the other.
Great balance.

A kookaburra percehd on a branch with slightly overcast lighting
A Kookaburra that I was watching hunt, flying to and from the ground finding large bugs. I like how the overcast weather created some very vibrant colours.

An adult frogmouth sitting on a nest of twigs on a white and grey gum tree branch, with leaves and blue sky in the background. The bird is attempting to look inconspicuous and branch-like. A small, fluffy white chick (a few days old?) is sitting at its feet, staring at the camera.

Male malleefowl on his nest mound
Male malleefowl leaves his nest mound
Malleefowl tracks cross the tracks of a Mitchell's hopping mouse, an Australia native rodent that hops like a kangaroo but isn't a marsupial.
My phone camera could not do this mallee sunset justice. (Mallee is a type of Australian bushland characterised by eucalyptus trees that sprout from a large underground lignotuber or "mallee root", commonly found in semi-arid regions.)
Monitoring malleefowl breeding in Bronzewing Flora and Fauna Reserve, and for the fourth year running my mate stopped by to say hello.

A great bower bird in dappled light on a wooden beam looking slightly to the right it has a light dappled grey body and head darker grey brown dappled wings, black eyes and beak and light grey feet. Background of green leaves, Melicope elleryana .
A great bower bird enjoying a mango. These birds were quite used to me, not tame but unconcerned by my presence
It’s mango falling time in North Queensland, mango madness, it gets very hot and humid, time for the Great bower birds to feast.
Ether built, or a plant modified by the male bird, like a stand of dianella, the bowers face the opening north, display south.

A flock of very noisy plumed whistling ducks following a pacific black duck, the eight plumed whistling ducks are on the left walking to the right, the pacific black duck is on the right and facing right, there is green grass in the foreground, a small stream with reflections of the ducks on a grey brown clay bank with more green plants in the background.
A small flock of whistling ducks noisily following a single pacific black duck, like chicks follow a parent, the pacific black duck kept trying to hide from them, it eventually hid in a bush.

A rainbow lorikeet, leaning forward, down and to the right, orange beak, red eyes brilliant blue head, light green nape, darker green back, orange and yellow breast and abdomen in a bright green large leafed tree with light grey bark. Large clusters of pink and white flowers with green stems. North Queensland. Nikon Coolpix B500 iso 200, eBay tripod.
Melicope elleryana - pink euodia, with a Rainbow lorikeet feeding, I planted it knowing it’s rewards, you can spend all day and night watching the visitors, until days ago, it’s now gone, a sterile environment, I had calculated shade now a hot roof.

Tawny Frogmouth. Looks like a cross between a muppet and an owl. Possibly one of Australia's weirder birds.

Two Torresian imperial pigeons both white with dark wing lines and tail, one on the right is facing away, one on the left facing to the left, on a branch with a blue sky background.
Port quality photograph showing the black wing outer edge of a Torresian imperial pigeon. They will make a nest out of sticks, often in a palm tree.
Finally today I spotted the Torresian imperial pigeons, I have heard them for some time but not seen them, they migrate from New Guinea to reproduce, so they are looking for nesting spots, hopefully I can figure out where.

Two brown birds sit quietly on a branch. Their camouflage makes them seem to be part of the tree.
Two Tawny Frogmouths, Brisbane Sep 2025
They look like owls, but no. They sit extremely still, and with their incredible camouflage they can be hard to find.

Time for a stretch or shift change of the bush stone-curlew nest, one egg is laid, around, 4 days later a second, hatching around 28 days later
Two young chicks at the feet of the parent bush sone-curlew being taught wow to get worms.
The family of four resting in the mottled afternoon shade, in a well used gateway, of course, the chicks are at the left rear.
How to make a Bush Stone-curlew part 2.
They always hatch in front of me when I don’t have a camera, it’s a conventional affair.
These are wild birds but due to our close living arrangement I am tolerated to a degree.
I would assist in shooing cats and dogs with them.

The Paradise Riflebird has an unusually long, thin, curved beak. It almost looks fake otherwise they are similar in size and colouring to our Satin Bowerbirds.
Paradise Rifle Bird in our garden came for a dip in our bird bath just outside the front door. Couldn't get a shot with my iphone so had to track her down. It is either a female or a young male. The beak is ridiculous😜
