The Crimson Rosella has now become a regular visitor, and even knows to call for food. Also a little more bossy than the King Parrots and will happily move them on to get to the seed.

A juvenile Pied Butcherbird.

Not a new photo, but one I haven't posted. A Speckled Warbler, seen in Bungendore (near Canberra, Australia), in 2008 on my Brother-in-Law's property.

A handsome Bush Stone-Curlew, striking a pose for the camera, yesterday at UQ.
The sleepiest of all curlew chicks.
The ducklings have grown. Still fluffy, but not quite as much.

The Crimson Rosella popped in for a visit this morning too.
A few more parrots from this morning (whence there were nine on the veranda!)
Derp!
Dunno what's going on with this parrot, but he looks like he's on a trip.
slithery friend
A visibly shaken postman just turned up and exclaimed there was a snake in our letterbox.
I wandered down to check and yes there was indeed. A pretty Common Tree Snake.
I encouraged it to leave, by dragging it out with a stick, and then I found that it had found my froggy friend. Oh well, such is life.
Just for a change, we have King Parrots in a tree instead of on the veranda.
Cockatoos aplenty this morning. Way too many actually (about 9 instead of the usual 1 or 2).
Although they did provide some good photo ops.

A Crimson Rosella decided to stop by the feeder for a snack just before the storms started rolling in.
Some King Parrot photos from a little while after the video previously posted.
I managed to lay down on the kitchen floor to get the ground level shots, but getting back up again with 5.5kg of camera equipment proved more difficult.
Seed contention between the King Parrots on the veranda today with one adult male, an adult female and either another female or a juvenile (juveniles are the same colour as adult females until they get their adult colouring).
More #AustralianWoodDuck ducklings :)
And a Tawny Frogmouth, still waiting for the eggs to hatch.
Are you ready for some Duckling spam? 'cause I came across 7 Australian Wood Duck ducklings this morning, and their attentive parents.

This is a terrible photo, but I was very happy to spot a Scarlet Honeyeater in the backyard in the dying minutes of the last #AussieBirdCount for me for this year yesterday.
