A couple of firsts on yesterday’s meander through Gembrook Park.

🔘 Male Satin bowerbird. Lots of ♀︎ & today the ♂︎. Finally
🔘 Eastern whipbird. 💩 shot but it’ll bring me back.

Rhett who?

Another from yesterday’s wander about Kurth Kiln Regional Park - a female Scarlet robin.

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.

Top tier!

Both Hobbys were back this morning. Here’s one of them absolutely sticking its landing on return from a strafing flyby.

A few stills of the Yellow-tailed black cockatoos from this morning’s meander around Emerald Lake Park. With this afternoon’s turn in the weather, the old Urban Myth of “See YTBCs, the rain is anon” again holds true.

And today we found the pair!

Weeks since we spotted a lone Tawny along the Puffing Billy rail line, today we happily stumbled across the pair. Someone doesn’t look as pleased. Good birbs these.

Shiny - a photographic ode!

Late yesterday afternoon hese guys descended en masse. As a past work colleague was known to say, “White cockatoos, the sky be black with them.” Travel well Shiny, where ever you may be.

Heard the magpies go off their nuts, looked up & then this floated overhead.

Proud to admit this is the only SkyTv I watch. See if you can also catch our resident frog croak in admiration.

Gembrook, Vic.

Murder in the air!

Grey butcherbird or, as I call them murderbirbs, on the hunt. I particularly like the noisy, grainy effect of this unprocessed image.
