Red-capped Robin, immature female? (I'm not sure about this one) Suggestions much appreciated! Merimbula Lake, New South Wales #birds #birdwatching #birding #birdphotography #australianbirds #WildOz #Robin

The fastest platypus I've ever seen! The maximum speed recorded for a platypus swimming in a direct line on the surface is around 3.6 kms per hour but they usually progress at a slower rate of around 1.5 to 2.5 kms/hour. #NaturePhotography #Tasmania #wildoz #monotreme #platypus #AustralianWildlife

Crested pigeons are usually monogamous and form pairs. This male was performing a courtship display to attract the female. With luck, there'll be some more young ones soon! #birds #birdwatching #birding #birdphotography #australianbirds #WildOz #pigeon

Spotted a lovely Western Yellow Robin (Eopsaltria griseogularis) in the Perth Hills today. It was all fluffed up, no doubt trying to keep warm on a rather chilly morning 🥶 #ausbirds #wildoz #birds #inaturalist

Pacific Gulls sighted at Snug and Dover. They are the largest gulls in Tasmania, growing up to 65cm in length. Like other gulls, they feed mainly on fish, crabs and molluscs. #birds #birdwatching #birdingtasmania #birdphotography #australianbirds #WildOz

Galahs love to play and perform aerial acrobatics. They are very intelligent and enjoy the social interaction of clowning around together. I could watch them all day! ( Snug #Tasmania ) #birds #birdwatching #birding #birdphotography #australianbirds #parrots #WildOz
