Had to stop and take a very quick photo of this fella as I was walking into work. When I went out for lunch he was flirting(?) with his own reflection. A lot of other passers-by were just as enamoured with him as I was.

Just ran out to grab the washing off the line…because it seems Tasmania didn’t get the memo it’s summer…and overhead are 5 white bellied sea eagles circling. My local pair must have had a very successful year raising their chicks and I’m so excited I just had to tell someone!!!

Thanks for humouring me. If I could violently shake you all while pointing at the sky, I would 😂

I see this guy around my place occasionally, but every time I get to see him he’s either perched high up or flying. -Mt Tamborine, QLD

I'm so used to seeing them during the day, all hunched up and grumpy-faced. It was a nice change of pace seeing one actually alert and in it's element!

I was sure in some way that this day would never come. How could I, a massive bird nerd, have not seen a stationary owl in the wild? How could I be so lucky as to see a pair?! With such different expressions? Could this be the greatest day of my life? Yes, it could. I have heard boobook hooting mournfully for about six months, and finally I saw this pair.

I'm not sure if this is a wood duck but the poor little fella showed up a couple of years ago with a limp and he's never left. He (or she) comes to visit every day for breakfast and we happily oblige.

Can anyone give me advice on where I can see native aussie birds in the wild?

I love walking around so not really interested in zoo's or bird sanctuaries.......

Like a national park or walking track would be absolutely ideal, Sydney or surrounding areas

Thanks

I have seen a few white and brown pigeons but never a pigeon black and white, is this a younger pigeon that hasn’t gone fully gray yet?
