Blurry picture but was very timid, I couldnt get close. Never seen one of these guys before and was cool to see it in my yard. After researching ive found it is a sacred kingfisher, such a nice bird.

Tawny baby!

I first noticed the Tawny Frogmouth sitting on a nest in my backyard around the end of August. I got so, so excited to see a white fluff ball in the nest today!!!

Something has been stealing the fibres from our hanging basket

This morning as I was watering the plants on the balcony, I caught this magpie in the act! If it asked, I would have given it over

2 Little Azure Kingfishers squeaking and flapping about 💙

Gotta love seeing these guys doing a little courtship dance thing, not something I see often but having them look like little blue angels is amazing

Australasian Darter drying off

…or perhaps boasting about the size of his latest catch?

Seen on the Coorong, South Australia.

Callistemon's are a plentiful bounty for Scarlet Honey Eater's, however..

They shouldn't get too lax on their surroundings. This 3m python was 5m up the shrub, patiently waiting.
