Not too sure what this Powerful Owlet was up to yesterday. But it may have been trying to cool itself down. 33C was a ridiculous temperature for the 4th day of spring in Brisbane. #brisbane #birds #wildoz

Red-browed Finches (Neochmia temporalis) are found across the east coast of Australia, their olive-green and red colours are a stunning combination! #finch #illustration #birds #drawing

Don't you hate it when you're coming into land in rough weather and you suddenly spot a Grey Heron on the runway? A White Egret applies the brakes for today's #BirdoftheDay theme of #ItsAllWhite by @robcrank68.bsky.social #photography #birds

Hi, birders. Rob has said: Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #ItsAllWhite, birds main colour is White. The Alt theme is #RedHeads, birds with heads that are any shade of Red. I’m going with the bloodsucking COUNT EGRETULA. 🧛😂 “I vant to suck your… fish” 🧛‍♂️🐟😁 #birds #photography #ECK

For Rob’s #BirdoftheDay theme #ItsAllWhite I picked this Little Egret in Beddington Park on a cold wintry day. I’m impressed it can perch one legged that high up! #Birds #BeddingtonPark #ECK #EastCoastKin

I have one that regularly visits my garden. I get the impression that it has Disapproving Opinions About the State of It All

For Rob’s #BirdOfTheDay theme of #ItsAllWhite we have an endangered Grey goshawk ( #Tasmanian white morph) from the house; it’s way down the front paddock in a tree by our dam. Apparently the only bird of prey in the world to be all white 🪶🦉 #Birding #Birds #Wildlife #Nature #SoTas #LandForWildlife

For Alan’s #BirdOfTheDay theme of #FlowerPower this Little wattlebird in the front garden looks like it’s king of the castle atop a large Banksia flower. 🪶🦉 #Birds #Birding #WildOz #Nature #Wildlife #Tasmania #SoTas

So for some reason the shop was busy this week. Thanks! Hold off for a few weeks now - I’m having a holiday.

325 #kakapo! The chicks from this year's record breeding season are now juveniles and so have been added to the population. In 1995 there were just 51 kākāpō left. Recovery of critically endangered species _is_ possible with sustained effort. #kakapo2026 #conservation #parrots

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay alt theme is #Blue As a child avocets were still rare birds, colonising only after WW2 on eastern flooded marshes. Now they breed on many coastal areas in the U.K. Elegant and exotic even if they can be a bit aggressive to other waders. #birds #waders #conservation #eck

My favourite #parenting photo for #birdoftheday. The juvenile brings the drama, the adult brings the beetle. #birds #birdphotography #vogels #vogelfotografie #SonyAlpha #EastCoastKin

Today @atlanticbirding.bsky.social's theme for #BirdOfTheDay is #parenting. Have a wonderful Sunday everyone!

Just a grab with the iPad, but we’ve had some colourful evening skies over the past several days, here in the south of #Tasmania #SoTas

Here’s a mallard duck at Alnwick Castle, showing its lovely #Blue colour for AB’s #BirdoftheDay theme. Was it named after the fastest steam locomotive in the world? Or perhaps it was the other way round! #Birds #Alnwick #Northumberland

For Atlantic Birding’s #BirdOfTheDay theme of #Parenting we have another from the kitchen window - #Tasmanian endemic Black-headed Honeyeaters. The guy on the right looks like the sort who’s never going to be satisfied with what’s being served up. 🪶🦉 #Birds #Birding #WildOz #SoTas #Nature #Wildlife
