Was privileged to attend a 'pelagic-birding' trip way-off the east Australian coast a fortnight ago in search of 'little-known' avian species. Some of the images looked like they might make nice desktop-wallpaper (...although I will only upload lo-res pics)....this is the Providence Petrel (Pterodroma solandri)

This afternoon, in 33 degrees, I found a #dinosaur having a little drink and swish around in an old bird bath I had put on the deck a week ago, near the bird feeder. I was going to let it dry out as I thought it was not being used. I was delighted the Magpie Lark proved me wrong.

I saw this male Galah this morning, sitting on the handrail of the deck, trying to convince me to put some food out - about 6 hours earlier than usual. When I picked up the phone to take a shot, it moved to the side to get a better look, trying (I think) to work out what I was up to. When the food was not forthcoming after about 5 minutes, he flew off.
