The Spotted Pardalote is often called the "Diamond Bird" because of its beautiful spotted plumage.

A mated pair of tawny Frogmouths

Tawny #Frogmouths are #Australian nocturnal #birds that are often mistaken for owls. Although common, they are very well camouflaged, and this is the first time I've seen one in the wild. These two are a breeding pair.

#kookaburras are the largest #kingfishers in the world, growing up to 47cm long and weighing around 300g. A true #Aussie icon, they are infamous for their laughing cackle, mocking you from afar.

Crimson Rosellas are very territorial and will chase away others that venture too close to their territory.

These pocket sized performers are only 11-13cm long and weigh about 10 grams. They're accomplished travellers, flying from #Tasmania to the mainland (about 250km!) A massive distance for such a tiny #birb. This photo was taken in the tree adjacent my yard, welcome neighbour! :)

An eastern spinebill visited today. These little energetic birds can hover in mid-air while sipping nectar from flowers, just like a hummingbird.

Im moving house tomorrow, will really miss my little feathered friends and worry about Hoppy because it has been a harsh winter so far. Got some boxes of seed that I'll give to neighbours in the hope they might continue to feed them.
