    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.

    Mum

    A female Superb Fairywren to join Gary's male today!!! Obviously she has youngsters to feed so she didn't stop there long, only got a couple of pictures before she was off!
  3. Colourful

    Colourful

    It seems a while since I showed you a Rainbow Lorikeet; this one sitting on a fence post trying to decide whether to come into the garden!
  4. Itchy look out post

    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
  5. Pied

    Pied

    A female Magpie-Lark seemed to be rather thirsty.... but did I tell you that the weather was unseasonably warm, even for Australia!!!? Hans had a nearly full time job topping up the numerous water bowls.
  6. Quiet for once

    Quiet for once

    Back at home there was a Noisy Friarbird having a drink.
  7. Princely

    Princely

    At last the male Regent Bowerbird appeared. Really handsome birds these, aren't they.
  8. Young teen

    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.
  9. Splash

    Splash

    I was photographing this Satin bowerbird in the pool when he suddenly shot up with spray flying everywhere LOL Saturday Fun
  10. Regent(ess)?

    Regent(ess)?

    Much plainer than the male a female Regent Bowerbird has a dark cap where the male has a yellow crown.
  11. Cuckoo or dove? That is the question

    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.
  12. Creeping out of his bath

    Creeping out of his bath

    This sighting of a White-throated Treecreeper was the only time I saw one on my travels. A lifer and one of only two pictures I managed to get of him.
  13. Show off

    Show off

    Rufous Fantails are constantly fanning their tails. Mind you you can't blame them as they really have something to show off, don't they.
  14. Silk?

    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.
  15. Twitchy

    Twitchy

    Yellow-throated Scrubwrens are a rather fidgety species so you can spend a while chasing them around. This one really didn't make life easy LOL
  16. At last

    At last

    I've rather neglected my local pictures of late, sorry. Back at the end of April, I saw the first Hedgehog in the garden for years, here he is foraging on the steep bank at the back of my flat where the bird feeder is. I started putting food out for him but haven't seen him again; the food was...
  17. Enjoying himself

    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.
  18. Citrus treat

    Citrus treat

    Hans pinched my clementine to feed the Green Catbirds, this one was very quick to come in for it. Rather beautiful birds these and the only place I saw them.
  19. Freshly coiffed

    Freshly coiffed

    This is how an Eastern Spinebill looks once they're completed their wash and brush up. Rather smart birds aren't they.
  20. No honey here

    No honey here

    A Lewin's Honeyeater was also early in for a drink and a bathe.
  21. Head-on

    Head-on

    A Bar-shouldered Dove came wandering past, then pause turned and headed straight for me. He didn't seem disturbed by my shutter clicking away!
  22. Fresh from a bath

    Fresh from a bath

    Off we went back to the forest waterhole. As soon as Hans had filled up with water the birds came in; including this Eastern Spinebill. He doesn't look best pleased at being caught in disarray, does he!!! This is the nominate subspecies. Saturday Fun
  23. Cheeky

    Cheeky

    A Sulphur-crested Cockatoo was another early riser but it looks like Hans hadn't topped up the water as yet LOL
  24. Early morning light

    Early morning light

    First thing in the morning found a Common Bronzewing sitting on the fence. What beautiful colours in that wing; such pretty pigeons
  25. Lady in a hedge

    Lady in a hedge

    One of my favourite picture types, birds peeking out of bushes! And this one of my favourite species from my trip, a Superb Fairywren. This is the female (hubby was hiding somewhere LOL).
