🌹 random rose 🌹 March 25th 2024

Brilliant! After 1.5 hours of stamping around in the Brisbane sauna today, deciding there were no owls, trying to take a short cut back to the car ... that looks like a great nest hollow ... that tree looks nice for roosting ... that looks like scat! ... (looks up) f**k me there's a Powerful Owlet!

I remember taking this shot. I was sitting quietly by a sheep trough when I saw this spotted harrier approaching. So I got ready and rattled off some shots as it flew by - low and slow - hunting. It had no idea I was there. My favourite raptor, btw.

The road always winds to where you belong. You are never lost.

Far out amazing how much the colour changes in summer heat on the same rose i posted from this morning. Before and after. #flowers #rose

Still cute as adults, less wide-eyed, and slightly angrier looking.

Metallic shield bug on my Alyssum this morning. #macro #bug

A female? Powerful Owl in a Brisbane conservation park. #birds #wildoz #brisbane

A pair of Boobook Owlet's in a a Brisbane park. The chicks tend to be less flighty than adults, choosing the stay-as-still-as-possible tactic. This pair were not well hidden, being on the edge of a path, even though there were plenty of bushy roost trees towards the creek. #birds #wildoz #brisbane

Australia has five chats (part of the honeyeater family). I haven't seen yellow chats or gibberbirds yet. They are found in remote arid areas so I need an outback trip to find them. One day though! Here are three that I've seen over the years:
