Not keen
This Australian Brushturkey couldn't have been less interested in clementines, as he walked straight past it. This picture shows their tail shape very well I think.- delia todd

Evening visitors
Hans had been out after dark every evening since my arrival, but I'd not questioned it of course. This day the reason was revealed. He knew there were Bettong around, but they only come out after dark.... and Hans had tempted them with some bread (at least I think it was bread - wasn't too...- delia todd

Outback Taromeo
Before it got dark, I climbed up the hill at the back of the property to take a view of the land and thought you might like to see an overview of Hans & Judy's property. This is where they lived when I visited them, but they've moved now. On the right is the dam he refers to, which he dug out...- delia todd

In the shade
The sun was really getting low now, and behind the trees; this meant the drive where this Common Bronzewing was pecking about was completely in the shade. Sadly that meant there was now pretty wing patch to see!!- delia todd

Muddled....
.... and who can blame Maned Ducks for that!!! They've two other common names, one of which is Maned Goose! So people can't decide what family they belong to LOL. Hence the scientific name of Chenonetta is a monotypic genus, meaning no other species shares it. Lengthening shadows meant the...- delia todd

Fast movers
Even on continuous mode, it can be hard to freeze an image of a Superb Fairywren, with that long tail, it's hard to get a picture with both the front and back end still. They're really very fidgety on occasion LOL. I got this male through my bedroom window, which looked out onto a different...- delia todd

A tasty brownie
After lunch I explored the grounds round the house and for some reason these rather plain Brown Honeyeaters really appealed to me. At least, I think they're attractive!- delia todd

Getting wet
It doesn't really look like it in this picture, but it was absolutely pouring with rain when I took it!! Thought this male Superb Fairywren didn't seem to be too bothered by it LOL. Pretty, isn't he.- delia todd

Clean-up Squad
I think the whole population of Double-barred Finches in the area descended to clear up all these seeds LOL When you see them, they're really small and look like mice scurrying around. Saturday Fun- delia todd

Browed and barred
A pair of Red-browed Finches appeared, along with their distant cousins, the ever-present Double-barred Finches. Quite a difference in size too.- delia todd

Pretty face
Stunning blue make-up on these guys don't you think LOL A Blue-faced Honeyeater decided to hang out on the rotary drier, but he had to move as Judy and I had lots of washing to do following our trip away.- delia todd

Although there's nothing remarkable to look at in a Brown Honeyeater, I think they are very attractive and rather sweet looking.- delia todd

Itchy look out post
I had a wander round the grounds to see what I might have missed during our morning in the forest. Here was a Torresian Crow sitting on top of a termite mound. Obviously a good vantage point though..... Saturday Fun- delia todd

Really, really cute!!
Hans had gone outside to do something in the garage and when he came back he called me to come. In one of the pot plants was this sweet wee Green Tree Frog. They're really quite small too.- delia todd

Heading for bed
I had my first wander round the grounds after sorting ourselves out from the trip and there was a Red-necked Wallaby browsing on his own. Sorry to say he took flight when he saw me! That was virtually the last of the light by then.- delia todd
