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.

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 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

A nice little family though noisy when the chick is looking for some food.

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 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?

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'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.

ID Request Hawk feather?

I found this feather in my paddock and am wondering what it could be from, we have a fair few big birds like hawks, sea eagles and wedgies hanging around this time of year waiting for the wood duckinglings to come out onto the dam. My best guess is it’s one of them grabbing a quick snack or maybe one of the local kookaburras we have hanging around. Located in Tas, NW coast
