A curious Torresian Crow I came across yesterday morning.

It was having a drink at the lake edge, and when it heard my camera shutter it started looking around.

Ropalidia revolutionalis, the stick-nest brown paper wasp—because it builds long, thin nests out of a plant-pulp paper and is brown; descriptive names are helpful! This one's just starting her nest: each of those cells will soon hold an egg.

There goes the neighbourhood.

A Great Egret enjoying a quiet perch in the sunshine, at the very top of a tree, in on a cold morning at Berrinba Wetlands

Here the first pair of Australian White Ibis loudly arrive to join the bandwagon (and end that moment of zen)

Some from the last week or so.

We have a round borb ( ), a , a snoozing and an

A White-faced Heron, so named, because it has a white face but is otherwise a grey in colour, except its legs which are yellow.
A Bush Stone-curlew, basking in the afternoon sun on a cool winter day. Its eye is mostly shut, mostly...
An Australian Magpie, the northern variant common in Northern NSW and Queensland. It can be differentiated from its southern cousin by its black back, with only the back of its neck being white.

Another Tasmania shot from last year. A magical few minutes spent with the endangered Swift Parrots feeding on the side of the road at Adventure Bay, Bruny Island, Tasmania.

Three Swift Parrots on the ground, feeding. They are all mostly green, but with blue on the top of their heads, red face with yellow trim, red under the leading edge of the wings, the odd bit of turquoise. There is one bird in front, leaning over about to peck something off the ground, and two behind facing each other like they're having a nice chat.

    Haven't shot much recently, so here's a throwback to our Tasmania trip, with a previously unreleased image of a Tasmanian Silvereye (Zosterops lateralis ssp. lateralis).

    We interrupt your regular program for this important announcement.

    I've finally managed to photograph my local Spotted Pardalotes. My BirdNet-Pi has detected their call for weeks now, but I hadn't managed to see one.

    This fellow happened to pop down for a peek when I was returning from the letterbox.

    A tiny, but strikingly beautiful bird on a branch. The bird has deep black upper colouring liberally sprinkled with bright white spots, and a prominent white brow. Underneath, it is shades of yellow and red, from rich egg yolk yellow on the breast and tail, to pale buff-yellow on the belly, and a little splash of red on the rump. Here it is pictured side on, facing right, so you can see it's great colour variation from head to tail.

This pose the bird is mostly facing the camera, slightly to the left of centre.

    No Platypus seen this morning, but to my delight I was joined by a pair of Azure Kingfishers

    Breakfast buffet

    Backlit by the bright morning sun, a mixed group of finches enjoying grass seeds from grass dripping with dew

    Here, the foreground bird is a Red-Browed Finch while out of focus in the back is a Double-Barred Finch

    Samford Eco-Corridor

    Two small birds sitting in long grass eating seeds. The foreground bird is facing right away from bright low sun so is partially in silhouette. The background bird is out of focus.

    Pied Oystercatcher having a bath in Cudgen Creek NSW near the beach. I love the ‘water helmet’ in one photo.

    Medium-sized bird with black features and large, straight, red-orange bill and eye in shallow water with a transparent layer of water over its head.
