A White-plumed Honeyeater sits at the very top of a tree with large green leaves against a bright blue sky. The honeyeater is a mostly yellow bird, with a dark eye and beak, and a paler yellow underside. It looks contemplatively downwards, probably thinking about catching another bug. There's a white patch on the bird's shoulder which probably explains the name, but there are so many honeyeaters in Australia that in the end I think they were kinda grasping at straws to name them.
Canberra's had some gorgeous blue skies lately, including this one behind a White-Plumed Honeyeater, a new bird for me, spotted near my local wetlands catching insects on the wing. #AustralianBirds #photography

Meet the #sahulsunbird, a bird who makes a truly remarkable hanging nest of lichen, leaves, and spider webs. #australianbirds #birdillustration #birdnerd

Very rainy weather - flood watches - grey clouds. So its on theme that I painted a picture of a lorikeet in the rain playing in a puddle

A male Superb Fairywren is sitting on a grey outcrop of stone. The bird has bright blue and black on his head, greyish-brown wings and a buff underside. His tiny straight tail is held stiffly upright, very cute! In the foreground and background are green grass and some small yellow flowers.
A cloudy morning at the Gungahlin Valley Ponds this morning, so many of my photos didn't have a lot of colour, but I loved how this one turned out with the tiny, perky Superb Fairywren male perched atop the stone outcrop. #photography #AustralianBirds

At the end of every summer, male Superb Fairy wrens swap their brilliant blue for drab brown. This little guy doesn't seem to mind, he's too busy enjoying a bath with his lady. #SmallBirdSaturday

Eastern Rosella. We normally only get the Crimson ones around here, so it's nice to see one of these dudes for a change.

Our trees are chipped for cardboard. Here's cardboard used to create some of the unique mammals Australia is losing.

The wind whipped the smoke while the heat stifled. This flock settled in a shade tree, but they could do little but wait it out. It was an unnerving sight to witness so many lovely Galahs suffering through this bushfire disaster.
Pink Galah screams out in panic during 2026 Victoria State’s unmatched heat and bushfires.

Both of my local Buff-banded Rails love having a bath.
I knew that ugly fruit bowl could be put to better use!

A sahul sunbird facing to the left, the front half of its head visible out of its hanging grass and leaf litter nest. The bird has a brown cap, a dark eye with a dark stripe, a fine thin curved beak and a yellow throat.

Photograph of a Royal Spoonbill (Platalea regia) wading in shallow greenish-brown water. The all-white bird with black legs and distinctive long black spoon-shaped bill is captured mid-feed, with its bill partially submerged and ripples spreading across the water surface. The bird's bright red eye with yellow ring is clearly visible.

An Eastern Great Egret standing in rippled water up to its knees. The egret is a tall, upright snow-white bird with a long, curved neck and a sharp bright yellow beak with a black tip. It's standing facing the camera with its head on an curious tilt, as if it's looking back at me. Behind the egret is a dark bank, a tangle of greenery and wood. In the foreground is some blurry grass. The light from the early morning sun is bouncing off the rippled water and leaving some bright streaks across the body of the egret.
A Silvereye is hanging from the leaves of a eucalypt tree with its butt towards the camera. It is looking at the camera through its own legs, and because of the silver ring around its eye, it's completely identifiable. The underside of the bird is pale, and its face, wings and back are olive green. The sunlit bird is hanging from elongated eucalypt green leaves with red stems and red twigs. The leaves all show damage from insects which is probably why the Silvereye is on the tree finding bugs to eat. Through the blurry leaves in the background can be seen the pale blue sky. These birds are incredibly tiny and quick and I was very lucky to get this shot.
I've been out and about visiting Canberra's ponds and wetlands, and there are still so many more to explore. I like these two for the contrast, and the reminder that when I'm looking at nature, it's also looking at me. #AustralianBirds #photography

Australian Magpies don't always build the most attractive nests. This one has used some wire coat hangers and other discarded items in his creation.
