    Woman attacked by a magpie

    The interesting thing about the Australian Magpie is that it knows which way you are facing. If you have your back to the bird and it is nesting nearby, it is likely to attack. I have been swooped on numerous occasions and one maned to piece my head with either its claws or its bill. On that...

    I love seeing double barred finch along the esplanade in Darwin when we can get up there. Sadly the Pandemic is keeping me at home in Victoria this year so far. Hopefully there is still time before the wet sets in up there

    Nice capture. The Goldfinch is a bird that has been introduced to Australia, or at least the southern part of the continent, and I see it in quite large numbers.

    I always find it surprising that I can fly 12000 miles and see Oystercarchers and come home to Australia and see the same ( well, very similar) birds. Ours are Pied Oystercatchers Haematopus longirostris but very similar

    Comment by 'Guest' in media 'Spiney'

At a certain time of year at the top of Mount Macedon here in Victoria when a particular plant comes into flower, there are as many as 30 or 40 Spine bills feeding from these flowers and darting around.
