There they go… #AustralianWildlife #Bats

I was in the back garden and heard a characteristic peep-peep. My friend the king parrot was back. I can’t ignore that summons, went up to the deck to feed him. He was soon joined by his wife. #australianbirds #australia

Adolescent magpie visited my sun porch greenhouse,
Then pursued its parent, begging to be fed (more)

I was sitting peacefully on the deck watching a magpie I’d just fed a bit of bread. At an alarm call, it took off to join a mixed mob driving away channel billed cuckoos.

A short, intense storm - rather like going through a car wash, but bigger

This is the time of year when the channel-billed cuckoos come through wanting to lay their eggs in other birds’ nests. The local mynahs and currawongs are not having it. Shortly after I took this video of the cuckoos were driven away at least for now. #australianbirds
