Also love these specimens common to Australia. Glorious creatures the wedge-tailed eagles are.   And then we have the Steller's Sea Eagle...holy fuck. I saw these in Hokkaido. Kamchatka (and probably the Kurils) are their homeland.  |

I like the sound of swifts, I associate them with warm summer days.

I love a Cockatoo & one of my favourites (apart from my namesake) is the Major Mitchell's Cockatoo. I feel like they are my spirit animal...  |

Here's one I took myself. We had some blue tits nesting in our garden last year, it was cool to watch them so busy day and night trying to feed their chicks. Luckily I was there when the chicks emerged. This little blue tit chick looked grumpy because an even bigger tit was taking a photo of it.  |

Battle for the bird food, common in UK gardens. The green ones outperform the native species and make far too much noise, but they are better to look at than pigeons, and they are very clever.  |

No photos of the bird, just a bit of a story about a Burdekin Duck... I was giving my son a hand to pull down some old dead white ant ridden Cuban Royal palm tree tree trunks this afternoon... so we dropped the one pictured, the one on the right of the pics was gunna be next... except as I gave the trunk a bit of a shake, a Burdekin Duck ( Radjah shelduck ) flew out from the top of the trunk..... So, both of us ( son and I ) are bone fide nature lovers, the dead palm is still standing.... no doubt the bird has a nest in the hollowed out trunk....we woulda never forgiven ourselves if we ruined a live nest of this wonderful bird..... The dead palm will eventually topple of its own accord, I hope the birds can raise the clutch before this happens... And yes, ( for those wondering ) Burdekin Ducks actually nest in tree hollows, usually in paperbark swamps. My son's place backs onto a paperbark swamp/jungle in Howard Springs. www.australiangeographic.com.au/blogs/creatura-blog/2019/06/the-burdekin-duck-is-like-no-other-duck-in-the-world/ |
