That's really interesting! The perfect victims haha.
Yeah they're brood parasites
A juvenile Eastern Koel waits impatiently for its foster parent Wattlebird to bring it some food. Must be hard work for the Wattlebird when the Koel is already bigger than them.

This dog is too long for our current rating system to handle. We are working internally to address this problem, but in the meantime please only send regular-length dogs. Thank you… 13/10
This Crimson Rosella was clearly ready for its close-up!

The dive-bomb

Yeah they're actually very different from other mammals. They even lay eggs!
Mr Snuffles is a great Echidna name haha
Been a while since I posted a cute Echidna, so here you go!
Came across this intrepid one at Mulligan's Flat. To get the shot I put my camera up on the log and shot while hiding my face out of view. Got pretty lucky I must say!

The Corymbia cultivars at the Australian National Botanic Gardens are flowering nicely. I think this my favourite, with is pretty two-tone flowers.

Kangaroo grass (Themeda triandra) illuminated by the glow of last night's sunset. This is my favourite native grass, and a key indicator species of high quality natural temperate grasslands.

Can you handle the fluffiness of Black Swan cygnets?

Not very common, and mostly confined to late summer. The storms also tend to skirt by along the mountain ranges to the east and west.
Thanks! Yeah it was a wild one! I actually got this from my bedroom haha. No way I was going out in it.
A classic Canberra sunset from late last year, at Mount Ainslie

This was in Canberra but they're common across most of eastern Australia
Absolutely :)
Across most of eastern Australia, particularly in the southeast
Sounds like a special place to live!
Sometimes I forget how pretty Crimson Rosellas are, because they're so common. The way they contrast against a deep green background is so cool.

A quick one of some paper daisies from the Botanic Gardens before I go to bed.

More storms last night in Canberra. This one came through Belconnen around midnight and put on quite a light show ⚡
