I’ll start with I’m no zoologist and here’s an interesting video. The bird at the start is intriguing. It is an immature Crimson rosella BUT it has the wing colouring, abdomen, vent, & face patch of an Eastern rosella. A hybrid? I asked Fbooky… well 🤬 ☕️ ⛈️ #birds #parrot #ozbirds #wildoz

Yes, it’s a Laughing kookaburra who’s being harassed by a zero Fcks Grey fantail. Kookaburras do kill sneks 🐍 for funsies. Good, viewing though.

Little wattlebird v Giggle Chicken! 📍Gembrook, Vic. #birds 🦉🪶 #ozbirds #wildoz #birdsinflight

A Little Wattlebird with wings flared approaching a perched Kookaburra who is minding his own business. 1 of 3

The Wattlebird has now almost reached the nonchalant Kookaburra. 2 of 3

With a flourish the Wattlebird flies past the still steadfast Kookaburra not a care in the world. Other birds don’t realise Kookaburras kill snakes for funsies.

Fair call. This guy does seem well established within the med/large sized peri-urban pod.

To misquote Bugs Bunny, it’s nesting season! 😎 When we lived in Brisbane there were 100s of them roosting nearby. At 4am when they woke, it was rather a challenge…

First time to Byron Bay recently. Totally awestruck by Humpback migration taking place. Who needs to see a Hemsworth? What a sight! #whales 🐋 #humpbackwhale #migration #byronbay

It’s a hectic schedule but you get to see A LOT… it’s over of 5,300km (3300 of non metric distance) driving plus the across country ✈️ trip. Luckily, last year the birds were an amazing accompaniment to the road…

So! The full width & ½ height tour has been confirmed for 2026!! It’s where I fly west across the island then drive half way up it for photographic opportunities. And to do some real work … Stand by…?

Noooo, don’t be sorry … I’ve been wandering about some. Tough couple of years caring for and managing elderly progenitors’ affairs ... all settled now. How are you?

Dad & Mum squeaky doors! Male & female Gang-gang cockatoos. 📍Gembrook, Victoria #BirdOfTheDay #Mamas&Papas #ozbirds #wildoz #Photography #Birds 🦉🪶 #cockatoo #threatenedspecies

Adult male & female Gang-gang cockatoo sharing a perch. The male’s head is a vivid vermillion adorned with a fancy frill. The female is not as highly coloured but no less spectacular with a pink tinged fascinator adorning her head and green scalloped edges to her body featherage.
