Photo of a grey goshawk in flight above about 20 lorikeets in a cloudy sky. The hawk is facing toward the camera, with its wings spread wide and its tail tilted. The lorikeets are all wheeling the same direction, so the undersides of their wings are visible. They have a blaze of yellow, with red and orange on their bellies. As they are far away in this photo, their more vbrant colours are difficult to discern.
From a great distance, i got this quick view of a grey goshawk ๐ชถ being mobbed by a mixed flock of lorikeets (mostly rainbow, but there are two scaly-breasted in this shot).

Close up photo of a sulphur-crested cockatoo with its beak wide open and its crest flattened back. It is a large white parrot with a black beak, a pale yellow crest on its head, and white eyes with large black pupils that give it a somewhat toy-like appearance.

Photo of a male scarlet honeyeater perched on a branch. He is a small bird with a thin, curved beak. His feathers are mottled light and dark grey, with splashes of saturated red around his head and face. He has the confident but awkward look of a teenager eager to appear grown up.
Scarlet honeyeater (myzomela) just coming in to his adult plumage. When it's all in, he'll be bright red all over his head and throat with a handsome black jacket and grey belly. ๐ชถ

Photo of a pale-headed rosella perched on a branch. It is a medium sized parrot, with a long tail and a rather stout beak. Its dominant colour is a yellowish off-white, with blue on its wings and red under the tail. On its back is a pattern of yellow with black spots.

Cairns Birdwing caterpillars are doing great on the vine. Expecting several to go into their chrysalis soon.

Posse of Brush-tailed Possums (Trichosurus vulpecula) at Mallacoota, Victoria, #Australia, checking out if any seed left by the birdies. I got to sniff them ๐คญ their fur smells like Eucalyptus wool wash.

Only 24 hours later and the Cairns Birdwing Caterpillar is safely tucked up in its chrysalis.

Photo of a rainbow lorikeet perched on a branch studded with pink buds and flowers. It is a brightly coloured medium-sized parrot, with an orange beak and eyes, blue face and belly, orange and yellow breast, and green and yellow on its wings.
The umbrella trees are blooming, and they're crowded with rainbow lorikeets. Three flowers are rich in nectar, which is all these birds eat.

Photo of two Australian silvereyes, perched on thin branches. They are small grey birds, with yellow feathers on their faces and wings. Their dark eyes are surrounded by rings of white, making it appear that their eyes are huge for their face.
