This White Ibis had just been preening, was all fluffed up and just for a moment was standing on one leg high on a tree stump in the creek. Great balance! 😃 Pic taken a week ago. #BirdOfTheDay #MostRecent #birds

Back from the Brink in 2025 Nothing represents the alarming unraveling of liveable life more poignantly than the loss of a species. Flip that around and you have an iconic symbol of hope. Let's say hello to some returning heroes. 🧵

Thank you @alan678.bsky.social and @robcrank68.bsky.social for #birdoftheday. I'm not a birder, but since discovering this group I've found many more bird photos than I ever knew I had. Today for #faceoff I have this magpie, who definitely doesn't look amused at having the photo taken.

Dogs just have that unbridled hopefulness in them, it's adorable.

I don't know which particular species this is, but I sure think it's an attractive caterpillar, insect. Hoping someone can identify it for me. Photo taken in Sydney. #wildlife #insect #nature

On my walk yesterday I was surprised to see this creature on a tree. Never seen such a thing before. Turns out it's called a red triangle slug. Obvious name I guess. I still get excited by every new creature I spot on my walks. fieldofmar-e.schools.nsw.gov.au/fact-sheets/... #wildlife #nature

Today's alternative theme for #BirdOfTheDay is #hidden. A bower bird working on his nest.

I'm not sure if you call the colour of Jacaranda flowers mauve, lilac or purple, but these fallen flowers create a pretty carpet in a dull carpark. #PurpleFriday #flowers #bloomscrolling

I watched the creek at low tide for some time as 2 crows harassed the brush turkey and tried to steal the food. The turkey used its tail to swat the crows but they were undeterred. #BirdOfTheDay #SideViews #birds #nature
