Cheeky criminal!
This adult Crimson rosella is getting more brazen & adventurous. Yesterday it even hopped up on the plant stand by the back sliding door. Closest itโs been to me yet.
It got the short shrift from the gardener though. ๐ฌ

A couple of firsts on yesterdayโs meander through Gembrook Park.
๐ Male Satin bowerbird. Lots of โ๏ธ & today the โ๏ธ. Finally
๐ Eastern whipbird. ๐ฉ shot but itโll bring me back.

Sekrit squizza
This is a Bassian thrush. Ordinarily, it is a secretive seeker of bugs in the undergrowth &, by & large, is very hard to spot as a consequence. Imagine my surprise when I was able to (furviely) not only approach it but have it stand & pose nicely for me.
Great birb.

Family fun!
Two adult & juvenile Wedge-tailed eagles engage in war gaming over a freshly plugged paddock in Gembrook. This shot was taken from ~ 400m away & was riveting to observe.

Hybrid lifer!
Quite thenโliferโ here. It is a juvenile Cromson rosella crossed with a White-cheeked or Eastern rosella or ๐๐ญ๐ข๐ต๐บ๐ค๐ฆ๐ณ๐ค๐ถ๐ด ๐ฆ๐ญ๐ฆ๐จ๐ข๐ฏ๐ด ๐น ๐ฆ๐น๐ช๐ฎ๐ช๐ถ๐ด. The colours in the the wing scalloping is typical of ๐. ๐ฆ๐น๐ช๐ฎ๐ช๐ถ๐ด with minor crimson edging showing. The torso is typical of juve ๐. ๐ฆ๐ญ๐ฆ๐จ๐ข๐ฏ๐ด with green hues over the bright yellows & reds but the clincher is the face patches which clearly show features of both - white & blue.
This image was taken in Akoonah Park, Berwick.
Interesting birb.

First walk post release from ๐ฆ ISO detention & Iโm not too sure if the local Tawnies were as impressed as me. Mind you, it was blowing a gale & the wind chill would have sublimated air.

Saw these two Tawny Frogmouths hiding in plain sight in a tree directly above a stallholder's gazebo at the Noosa Farmer's Market a while back. Seemingly completely unperturbed by all the comings & going below them...

Tawny Puffer Fish!
Resident Tawny frogmouths captured late afternoon in their current roost. Female, in the centre, is aware & intently watching the camera guy & the male (lower) is doing his best lookaway impression of a puffer fish. #Deadly
