another personal favourite, the pied currawong, its song is out of this world and always puts a smile on my face.

i love the parrots here, i love hearing their silly screeches throughout the day, and i love their bright colours.

the common kingfisher may be turning into my favourite bird, they’re so beautiful.

highlight of today’s bird outing must surely be this gorgeous kingfisher. i was hurrying home at this point so i didn’t get as much time as i wanted, but a local birder told me it perches here more often. so i’ll check back on some other days for some more shots.

birds flying away from you generally don’t make v nice photos, and this is no exception, but i did enjoy seeing the water droplets jump off the bird’s back. plus seeing a bird take off from the water never gets old.
