Little Wattlebirds (Anthochaera chrsyoptera) have been nesting in my garden. It seemed this juvenile had just recently left the nest and it was loudly announcing its presence. A second image in the PiP, when it had moved to sit on the fence.

Corellas are common across much of Australia, usually seen in large noisy flocks. I'd suggest best viewed large.

I suspect someone should tell this one that its shirt is hanging out! These are found across most of Australia.

Our local Australian Wood Duck (Chenonetta jubata) family. These goose-like ducks are the only web-footed bird in Australia to nest in trees. The males (on the right) even have a mane.

To my surprise, the clouds cleared enough for me to grab this image of the near-full moon. Photo taken hand-held and cropped.

It's a while since I posted a photo of a pet. This is Meg, the West Highland Terrier. She's quite a lot of fun to have around, but very much in need of washing and grooming. White dogs may look good, but don't stay that way!

Satin Bowerbirds are native to eastern Australia. This is a female or young male - very different from the adult male (7 years +) which has a beautiful almost metallic blue/black colour. For those in other parts of the world, they are roughly the size of pigeons. They also are absolute dynamite at stripping fruit trees, as this one was doing in a neighbour's tree. Best viewed large, also see PiPs.
