    What did you see in your binoculars today?

    I've been keeping a cautious eye on my local dragons... (Australian water dragons; watching through my new 10x40 SFLs before getting out the camera.)

    What did you see in your binoculars today?

    Travelling on the south coast of New South Wales at the moment. I've not had much call to use my bins, until today when we pulled into Tathra. The unit we're in has a view of the beach (despite the dreary weather :(). The cabin was supplied with some 10x50 CF Porro-prisim bins, which I'd...

    What did you see in your binoculars today?

    Yellow-Tailed Black Cockatoos. I don't see them often, and not for long. I happened to be testing my new (to me) 7x42FLs for glare (1st sunny morning in a while; they did very well) when a couple of these black cockatoos arrived (just briefly) in a tree that's awkwardly placed for my viewing...

    What did you see in your binoculars today?

    Still with the Currawong - here's the near-adult little manipulator seen a tad closer (on Dad's balcony rail). Note that the grey (rather than black) under-parts are the give-away that it isn't fully adult. Also note these things (ie. Currawongs) can look rather savagely carnivorous. But...

    What did you see in your binoculars today?

    Perhaps I'm on my Pat Malone, here, but interested in binoculars as I am (I'm sure I've over-proven that!) I'm even more interested in what I see through them - oddly enough on birdforum.net, mostly looking at birds (go figure). Last week (I'm back home now) I was away at my Dad's place, and we...

    What did you see in your binoculars today?

    Follow-up on my Eastern Spinebills: that White-Cheeked Honeyeater turned out to be a bit too aggressive for its own good. When some Rainbow Lorikeets came to visit, it decided to have a go at them as well. Trouble is, the lorikeets come in groups, and each lorikeet is about 4 times the size of...

    What did you see in your binoculars today?

    For the last couple of weeks I've been so busy - well, I'll stop there: just so, so, busy with work. |:S| One of the few things I've been able to do, just to break things up a bit, is to take short breaks on my balcony and see what I can see of the reserve opposite me (with no time to visit)...

    What did you see in your binoculars today?

    I had a visit from this screechy bread thief today (well, I'm not sure the bread was stolen, but it didn't seem to come from any legitimate source). Had quite a good look through my EII 10x35s and even had time for a photo. ...Mike

    What did you see in your binoculars today?

    This evening: the usual run of sulphur-crested cockatoos, rainbow lorikeets and noisy miners. I did get quite a good view of a little eastern spinebill feeding on a neighbour's grevillea. I saw an Australian magpie seeing off a currawong, and also a crimson rosella - both at a distance where I'd...

    What did you see in your binoculars today?

    I took a half-hour break from work on my balcony this afternoon, just to see what birds I could spot. Pretty much normal for the most part - some sulphur-crested cockatoos, some rainbow lorikeets and a couple of noisy miner birds, mostly at a distance and mostly on the wing. But the stars of...

    What did you see in your binoculars today?

    I like this thread :t: I wish I had something more exciting to contribute |:(| Today was just watching sulphur-crested cockatoos flying about (nice views of those, though), some nasty noisy miners and one distant kookaburra. Still, I enjoyed the views through my 10x35 EIIs, which are my usual...
