Found a dying Crested Tern on One Mile Beach and reported it to the bird flu hotline. The Tern died later that day....good news though I spotted many live healthy Terns resting on a sand bar a couple of Kms away. #birds #birdoftheday #grey #forster #gathang #terns #seabirds #migratory #barrington

Rock photography, sizing up the sunrise...a tripod is a good idea but annoying to carry around. #photography #tripods #sunrise #forster #gathang #beach #camerasettings

We call these cats feral in Australia and they do terrible, shocking damage to our wildlife, even pet cats can run amok. I like cats, though I like cats inside more!

Gawung is the Gathang First Nation (Forster area) word for Magpie. Spotted in a Forster Park. For more detail see more text (ALT) on photo. #birds #gathang #magpie #forster #language #gawung

According to Ai Gawung (Magpie) names the bird rather than describing a separate quality or idea...and I have been told, face to face, First Nation people vocalise sounds the bird or animal makes; make the sound and/or gesture, everybody knows what bird or animal you are referring to.

A Masked Lapwing has taken up residence on our front lawn. Rain hail or shine she steadfastly incubates her eggs. When disturbed the Lapwings make a noisy 'kekekekeke....keke' Mowing the lawn is suspended for the time being. #blueskyartshow #weather #birds #birdoftheday #gardenbirds #lapwings

From the Dharug website 'tarra won nang' is the First Nation word for Australian Magpie. Better than the English word? I'll probably come across a meaning in due course🙂 Unless you already have one?

Moul @phillipdumoulin.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Interesting🤔 Thanks for the prompt...I live in the Parramatta / First Nation Dharug language group area and from now on I will name the Magpie Djarrawunang pronounced 'tarra - won - nang 😀

Long Billed Corellas sometimes known as 'cut throats'. Makes them easy to identify! Spotted in a Rosehill Park. #birds #birdoftheday #bestbeaks #corellas #longbilled #cutthroat #cockatoos #wangal #rosehill

Other than being able to fly, it would probably be fraught to be a bird😛

Just changed some settings on my camera and was testing it when this, I think, a little family drama played out. Second part is slow motion. Maybe this is how Noisy Miners wean their chicks off begging for food... #birds #weaning #parramatta #miners #wildlife #feeding

Bird buddies? A Darter thinks not. It seems annoyed sharing a perch with, probably buddies, a Pied Little Cormorant and a Little Black Cormorant. #birds #birdoftheday #birdbuddies #darter #cormorants #parramatta #river #dharug #waterbirds

I was on a bridge above the river, walking across I noticed the Egret was getting ready to take off from a little island and was able to catch it.
