This is the signature from Merlin, which couldn't seem to ID it. Tut-tut-tut-tut too-whit. It was very loud, and caused the nesting grey currawongs to start calling (they have been very quiet since baby was born). Adelaide foothills, near woodland and creeks.

I tried my hand at editing it but I am not that good with nature photography so any tips would be appreciated :)

*Been pointed out that it is a King Parrot not a Lorikeet!

They're so hard to see in the grass. I was nearly on top of this group of six-ish before I saw them. Glad they didn't mind me standing right next to them taking pics. This portrait was my favourite.

Apparently I’ve reached the age where spotting a tawny frogmouth is genuinely the highlight of my Saturday. 😂

I’ve read that tawny frogmouths often stay in the same territory for years, so I’m now choosing to believe this little guy is my new neighbour.

Naturally, I’ll be checking this tree every day from now on.

My sister is a bird watcher and I tag along at times so I’m not great at knowing what I am looking at when she’s not with me. I saw these two Sacred Kingfishers hanging around the same hollow and was wondering if they’re a pair or if they’re fledglings or something else. Thanks 😊
