Three species of Thornbills I met yesterday on the same walk in the Warrumbungles National Park. Yellow, Inland and Buff-Rumped.#bird #AustralianWildlife #WildOz #YellowThornbill #InlandThornbill #BuffRumpedThornbill
This is the closest I've been to one of Australia's rarest honeyeaters. This magnificent bird is a Regent Honeyeater, and is critically endangered. There were a good half dozen captive birds in the aviary attached to the Taronga Zoo animal hospital. These are likely part of the captive breeding program to try to rescue the species. I have previously been extraordinarily lucky and seen some in the wild. #bird #captive #TarongaWesternPlainsZoo #AustralianWildlife #RegentHoneyeater
A White-plumed Honeyeater at Yelarbon a couple of mornings ago. A very busy little bird hopping between branches and foraging for lerps and other tasty morsels. #AustralianWildlife #WildOz #Bird #WhitePlumedHoneyeater
I popped out this afternoon for a spot of birding. Wasn't the best time of day for it, but still photographed 19 species (saw a few more than that).#bird #AustralianWildlife #WildOz #PeacefulDove #OliveBackedOriole #WillieWagtail #RedBrowedFinch
It's Rose Robin season again! As it gets closer to Winter, the Rose Robins appear around home. They're quite possibly here all year 'round, but in the cooler months they come down from the canopy to more accessible heights.#bird #AustralianWildlife #WildOz #RoseRobin #robin

A study in Eastern Yellow Robins (or in this case an individual robin). Caught up with a friend today and we went for a casual shoot out at the base of the Blue Mountains. We weren't expecting much (being close to midday), but this little robin decided to hang around for some photos. #bird #AustralianWildlife #WildOz #EasternYellowRobin #robin
Bellbirds! (well ok, actually Bell Miners). We used to have heaps of these at home, but they moved on in 2020. However, this population is still around near my in-Laws place. #Bird #BellMiner #AustralianWildlife #WildOz
