Birdman of Australia

Based on the grey body, yellow legs, and poised neck, you can tell this is a White-faced Heron (Egretta novaehollandiae), a common and graceful visitor across much of Australia.

Here is a Musk Lorikeet (Glossopsitta concinna). These birds are native to south-eastern Australia and are easily recognised by their vibrant green plumage, red forehead and ear patches, and a blue crown. They are nectar-feeding parrots often seen in flowering eucalyptus trees.

This is a Black-necked Stork (Ephippiorhynchus asiaticus). It's a striking bird with a glossy blue-black head and neck, a long, sharp black bill, and slender pink legs. Its body is mostly white with bold black wings. #Birds #Stork #BlackNeckedStork #Nature #Wetlands

These are Crested Pigeons! They've got that signature feather crest that makes them stand out. Their plumage is a mix of soft greys, pinks, and whites, with some striking black stripes on their wings. We've named our two Molly and Polly. #CrestedPigeon #BackyardBirds #WildlifeSpotting #Birds

Cormorants are expert divers, often seen perching with their wings spread wide to dry after fishing. Unlike most waterbirds, their feathers aren’t fully waterproof, so they often spread their wings to dry after a dive. #birds #cormorant #BirdPhotography #FeatheredFriends #BirdWatching

I think this could be a Black Kite #birds

The Willie Wagtail (Rhipidura leucophrys) is one of Australia’s most recognisable birds, known for its bold nature and constant tail-wagging.

This gorgeous bird is an Eastern Rosella (Platycercus eximius), one of Australia’s most striking parrots. It is recognised by its vibrant red head, white cheeks, yellow underparts, and a splash of blue and green on the wings.

An Eastern Rosella (Platycercus eximius) on our garden fence this morning. He had his eye on the seeds I'd just put out - but the doves got there first! ##EasternRosella #Rosella #AustralianBirds #BackyardBirds #BirdsofAustralia #Birdwatching

The bird in the foreground with the white body and black head is an Australian White Ibis (Threskiornis molucca). The bird in the background with darker, glossy plumage and a white neck is a Straw-necked Ibis (Threskiornis spinicollis). #ibis #strawneckedibis #birds #birdwatching
