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.

Forest Red-tailed Black Cockatoos spotted at a remnant banksia woodland near my home. I believe the tree they're feeding on is Coastal Blackbutt (Eucalyptus todtiana)...?

There were four of them in total but I couldn't get them together in the same frame. RtBC typically only raise one young at a time. Maybe an older sibling stuck around for a bit longer. Or maybe the parents got super lucky.

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!

I'm not the best photographer with the best equipment, but I saw some really cool stuff, espesh the very rare Regent Honeyeaters.

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.

A dull day in Palmwoods Qld but these pigeons were happy enough.

Went and sat with the ducks after going to the markets this morning. Last photo is of the pair who only have one duckling babe left 😭 idk what happened to the other ones but there's a big old water rat down at the lagoon, idk if they would eat li'l baby ducklings though (I call the rat Templeton, iykyk)

Who is this little fella having a late arvo wash? Panton Hill, Victoria. Is it a striated thornbill?
