Hard to tell with its back turned toward me. Two different types of cormorants? Or maybe a darter?

Yes - I've been outspoken about such things in the past. The federal govt's grand plans are ridiculous, in my opinion. I know their heart is in the right place, but they don't seem to understand how things work.

On ABC News Breakfast this morning, they were doing a news story about Instagram's efforts to ban under-16s from their platform. The background footage showed a young person scrolling through Insta … and there was one of my photos! 😄
It was this chonky euro ...

A black-fronted dotterel at Lake Hattah. The play of light makes it look as if it has diamonds on its legs 😄

No, I've seen plenty of currawongs but haven't actually seen them doing this.

This is a bit gruesome but it shows how butcherbirds got their name. They hang their victims in trees just like a butcher hangs meat. That's the foot of a reptile in its beak.
