Birds
Folder: Nature
The photos in this album have been taken mostly, but not always, in Australia. Quite a number will have been taken in the Antarctic and sub-Antarctic islands.
I am gradually moving the content of my "Birds" album here from F*****r. As I do so, it is likely to seem as if I take nothing but bird photos. That isn't normally so!

Brush wattlebird feeding
Brush Wattlebird enjoying a meal of nectar from a Banksia flower spike. With the Pentax, the focal length needs to be entered for manual lenses - I forgot to change it for this shot with the 100mm from earlier use with a 50mm, hence the wrong FL shown in the EXIF info.
Yellow Thornbill
When we lived in the mountains, it was difficult photographing these little thornbills: not only were they small, but they rarely sat long enough, constantly flitting. Fortunately they were nearly always around, so there were plenty of opportunities.
Flame Robin
These were annual visitors around our house in the bush.
Yellow-faced Honeyeater
These lovely birds were regular seasonal visitors, returning each year to nest in a nearby wattle tree. They sang beautifully, though it doesn't show in the photo. :)
Yellow-Rumped Thornbill
Commonly found flitting around when we had our property in the mountains.

Scarlet Robin (M)
These cheery little birds were frequent visitors to our farm. The essential visual clue to differentiating these from the Flame Robin is that those are charcoal grey where these are black.
Scarlet Robin (F)
To confuse things, the females of both the Scarlet Robin and Flame Robin are largely dull beige colours - but the Scarlets do have a pinkish apron.
White cockatoo arrival
These large birds, also known as Sulphur-crested cockatoos, were common visitors. They become quite tame (and often are kept as pets) but can be very destructive.
