I’d like somewhere to share the photos I take of the birds and wildlife here in Central Vic.
So I hope you don’t mind that I’ve started a thread, I get so excited when I see a new bird around!
Anyone else enjoy bird watching?
Here are a few recent ones from here on my property:
This Crested Shrike-tit turned up looking through the lounge window last week
This is a Shining Bronze-Cuckoo chick that is being raised by the Yellow Rumped Thornbills that had their own eggs ejected out the nest by the Cuckoos mother in order for them to raise her baby. These tiny little thornbills have been working very hard the past few weeks keeping up with the huge demand of caterpillars and bugs that the much larger Cuckoo chick needs.
Here is an always gorgeous male Superb Fairy Wren. There is a lovely family of them living in my garden.
Here is another at a different location:
At this location (a Cemetery) I also had the privilege of witness the beautiful Rainbow Bee-eaters which was my reason to be at the Cemetery. They come here to breed each summer.
Back home at my place we have the amazing Powerful Owls that frequently roost in the Pine trees surrounding my boundary fences.
I do have some better photos of them I’ll find for another post.
Here is a camouflaged Shingle backed Skink that has emerged now the weather is hot:
I have lots more photos to share. This is just the start!
