One of 4 species in the area

THANK YOU ALL for your kind comments to our yesterday postings.Hope you will not get bored seeing yet another Australian Hobby photo; the bird comes out of a tree towards the viewer.

Hi Peter and Delia this is the very ordinary brown bird that sings that beautiful tune. Very commom through out the area.

Locally common but a difficult bird to see, let alone photograph! Keeps hidden in the spinifex grass. Lifer of course!

Precious Cocky feeding his face hehe

It was a cold chilly morning taking this photo it was the morning we were going back home so I thought I would get up crack of dawn it was very cold I found birds every where perching on these transformers I was wondering if they are sending out heat this little one looked quite content watching...

I don't know the name of this cutie was perched in a pink flowering eucalyptus the tree was full of birds feeding off the blossom's it was around 6.30 am quite cold in Mitchell Qld Australia while on holidays . Spiny-cheeked Honeyeater

Another photo from our holiday in Mitchell Qld about 563 km west of Brisbane.

These Woodswallows were feeding in a small Eucalypt tree,possibly feeding on lerps,giving us two rather different aspects of the species.

Widespread on the mainland,but absent from most of the East and South East coast,Black-faced Woodswallows are typical of drier habitats of the inland.

A photo I took today of one of many Rainbow Lorikeets having a feed in the next doors pepper tree they just go nuts when its in flower

Please correct me if I have the wrong name I took this yesterday at Wooloongabba Brisbane foraging around a very old church yard there was another but couldn't catch him in the photo he took one look at me and flew off hehe.

These Rainbow Lorikeets just take your breathe away. We had splendid prolonged views of them clambering over this flowering tree. (we were waiting for the bottle shop to open)

This a photo I took a couple of weeks ago at Tygum Park this purple swamphen was sunning those beautiful wings thanks Ken it was a senior moment wrote wrong name sorry friends.

Went bird watching just around my neighbourhood found this little cutie having a feed on the grass seed heads I have to say they are very hard to photograph you zoom in on them and dada their gone hehe very fast.

A weird moment between me and a crow didn't like staring down at my lens lol sorry its a bit blurred was an unexpected capture.

Hi would all my bird watching friends be able to tell me the name of this cutie I took this photo at Tygum Park, Waterford west, Australia,Queensland

There are a pair of plovers that have lived on a council own big piece of land up the road from me it is more grass than any thing and these two little plovers own it do not go any where near them when it is nesting time even cats wont go there hehe.

A blue faced honey eater having a bath in one of many bird baths in our garden I often place over ripe bananas on the ground they love them.

The hair styles on these Royal Penguins was intriguing.

Lol I was making a coffee and while looking outside my kitchen window dada the top notch doves were perched on the neighbours antenna better than watching tele any day hehe.
