Tranquil
Quiet descended with the arrival of a Peaceful Dove. Sweet little doves these, and when I say small, they are smaller than our Collared Doves.- delia todd

Itchy look out post
I had a wander round the grounds to see what I might have missed during our morning in the forest. Here was a Torresian Crow sitting on top of a termite mound. Obviously a good vantage point though..... Saturday Fun- delia todd

Positively evil!!!
I wonder if it was my camera clicking, or if this White-browed Scrubwren was angry with his son for some reason LOL. As David commented yesterday... these guys always look cross!!- delia todd

Young teen
I'd seen one of these before, but this was my first picture of a White-browed Scrubwren. This is a juvenile male and was lucky enough to realise that the parents were around too. Their pictures will follow.- delia todd

Cuckoo or dove? That is the question
I found the Brown Cuckoo-Dove rather attractive really. Not sure where the 'cuckoo' connection comes from, as they raise their own chicks LOL. Must be some other connection.- delia todd

Silk?
Well not quite, but just as beautiful LOL. My first sighting of a male Satin Bowerbird (I'd seen a female a few days before) but this was my first picture of this species. Aren't they gorgeous, especially with those pretty blue eyes.- delia todd

Enjoying himself
This Eastern Yellow Robin was having a whale of a time. He kept jumping into the water, having a splash jumping out, shaking himself off, then back in again!!! It was a bit of a struggle to get a clear image of him really.- delia todd
