If not my #1, definitely in the top three favourite birds. Unfortunately, only a few came anywhere near the campsite, so sadly they were all on full 500x zoom. But at least they sang that beautiful, sad cry. Yellow-tailed black cockatoo #birds of #australia

Unhappy Wrensday, but happy Wednesday Mum and Dad were trying to have a quiet cuddle in the morning sunshine when daughter began pestering them. Eventually it was mum that led the petulant one away and give her a good talking to. Superb fairywren #birds of #Australia

We all know the limerick about the pelican with a beak that can hold more than his belican. The Australian Pelican is famous for having the longest bill in the world, measuring up to 50 cm. As Australia's largest flying bird with a 3m wingspan, it can soar for 24 hours. #birds of #australia

I spotted Kevin high up in a gumtree one morning. I noticed that he kept looking to one side and was quite excited that he decided to swap trees while I was there with my camera. I wish @support.bsky.team would allow ordering of photos. #koala #landscape #wildlife of Australia

when a tree falls across the road, you just go around it ... but not if you are an emu. The only direction these big chooks didn't go was up into the sky. #birds of #Australia

Hey baby, wanna duck? Male Pacific Black Duck trying to impress his intended mate #birds of #australia

Even the feathered alarm clock was somewhat muted by this morning on the river. #birds #kookaburra

I might be a little bit weird, but to me, the first bee looks like an astronaut on an an untethered spacewalk being chased by another bee. Can you see it too? #flowers #bees #tripping

The most feared bird in Australia has the most beautiful song. #birds of #australia

A little bit of fog in the forest. #landscape of #Australia #trees

After very little rain all summer, the first good rainfalls of autumn are so very welcome! "When the sky-full of tears Is threatening to fall Don't stand in the way Come inside, close the door The sky will clear again After the rain" -The Angels- #gardening #fruit #vegetables

Finally got some delicious rain, a steady mist all day long transformed the mutant asparagus bush into a glistening beauty covered in diamonds. #gardening #nature #veggiegarden

It's raining rainbow lorikeets. Rodney and his rowdy mates had a party in the rain. #birds of #Australia

Sandy Scnauzers at the beach. The boys thought it was Christmas, and they were Sandy Paws. Happiness is to feel the wind in your schnauz and no place to be. #Schazergang #dogsofbluesky

@redwul.bsky.social Thanks for liking my photo. I can't see any of your posts, what are you interested in

Meet Rodney. Rodney and his rowdy rainbow retinue return regularly to ruin my ripe Reine plums. I've decided to allow them to eat the small plums as long as I can save the big European Plums close enough to being ripe. #birds of #australia

It's February 14th, so here are some flowers. Is it only me that thinks Dahlia should be pronounced Darling #bloomscrolling #flowers #stvalentinesday

I liked the early morning light hitting the dead gum tree - the corella seemed to be very judgy though. #birds #artyfarty #blueskies

Each year I go out into the forest in search of these beauties! They rise up in the dry, almost desolate forests in late summer when all other colour has be burned brown or grey. Just one or two here, then none for a few kilometres. Always a real thrill to find the Spotted Hyacinth Orchid #flowers

a Golden Stag Beetle flew onto me while I was out in the bush. I held it up to the light to enjoy the iridescent green flashes, before placing it onto the bark of a gum tree Lamprima aurata #beetle #bugs #entomology #insect

Signs of seasonal imbalance? It's late summer and the swans usually stop hatching in mid spring. spring and early summer were cooler than normal (my tomatoes are still green). So, either swans also have happy accidents, or this family got confused. We're now in a record heatwave, good luck babies.

How many butterflies in the butterfly bush? #butterfly #moth

Pink Floyd anyone? #comfortablynumb #bluestone

I love boobies! An Australasian gannet dropping into the Point Danger Gannet Colony. #birds #booby

It's a very hot afternoon. So hot all the wildlife is in hiding, absolutely nothing to take photos of... There are a lot of meat ants coming and going from my campsite. One individual was carrying an entire cicada wing - it was pretty impressive due to the sheer comparative scale difference. So...

Sometimes, when this place gets kind of empty Sound of their breath fades with the light I think about the loveless fascination Under the Milky Way tonight 3:15am 15/1/26 southern cross (crux) in the milky way #stars #astro #cross

Why do people support this person, doesn’t anyone research who they are voting for? What’s she done in the last 30 years.. talks the talk but doesn’t walk the walk #auspol

Magnificent magnolia in bloom. It's a huge tree and walking anywhere near it fills the senses #flower #power

Currently hiding from that nasty old sun on top of Mt Kooyoora. The breeze is delicious!

So Kevin Rudd has "resigned" as Australia's ambassador to the USA ... #fucktrump #auspol

Lush: Not me this time! This HUGE magnolia in bloom evokes an exotic, distant tropical environment. The scent is also dizzyingly exotic. #flowers #summertime #exotic #bloomscrolling

Early morning on the way to Lake Fyans for a sneaky fish, I passed by this paddock and forgot all about fishing. Right place at the right time! #Photography #landscape #foggyfoto

While taxonomically "common", I prefer "Splendid" Bronzewing, because that splash of colour is definitely anything but common. www.birdsinbackyards.net/species/Phap... #Birds

Australian Painted Lady butterflies (and a bee) enjoying the sweetness of the Grass Tree flower stem #summertime

The time to hesitate is through No time to wallow in the mire Try now we can only lose And our love become a funeral pyre Come on, baby, light my fire Come on, baby, light my fire Try to set the night on fire Music by The Doors, photo by me, but set your own fires

Cockatoo flies down (after surveillance from the treetops), lands and does another security scan, before enjoying a nice long drink. This chap was quite security conscious. #birds #nature #cock-o'clock

The last of the spring native flowers in summer ... I've popped basic information into each image for identification and some info gleaned from various websites. If you want more info on Aboriginal Plant Use, this is good: www.cpbr.gov.au/aborig.s.e.a... #flowers #aboriginalfood #bloomscrolling
