Monday, 20 July 2015. Bush - Butcherbird - Beach. Within an hours drive from where we live in South East Queensland, we are spoiled for choice go Bush or Beach. One of the old Grasstrees. I don't think I will be jumping off the cliff anytime soon. The view from the top looks good to me. This photo is actually looking down to the ground through the gap in the rocks. A couple of the anchor points. While mowing the lawn the other day, a family of Pied Butcherbirds came to see what they could eat. For more b...

Monday, 31 August 2015. After a shower of rain the other morning, there were a lot of flying ants around the yard, and the birds were busy picking at them. Because I did not have a decent photo of a Pied Currawong, it was too good of an opportunity to not grab the camera while the birds were busy. The Pied Currawong was anting! At first I was wondering what it was doing, though after watching for a while I could see it was getting the ants and putting them on its feathers, and under its' wings. Restless ...

Monday, 19 May 2014. Though most of the waders have left for the Northern Hemisphere, there are some that stay behind. What was a surprise for us was to see a Bar-tailed Godwit, (on the left in the photo below), that looks to have a white flag on its right leg. Bar-tailed Godwit ( Limosa lapponica. Silver Gull ( Larus novaehollandiae. Striated Heron ( Butorides striatus. Before it flew away it was in this small mangrove. After it came back it landed in a big mangrove.
