Masked Lapwing
This is the same bird (or it’s partner – both birds take turns at sitting on the eggs) as in this photo.
Laughing Kookaburra
As I chased him with my camera I wondered what he had caught. A stick insect! Doesn’t sound like a very substantial snack. I hope he enjoyed it. He was certainly making enough noise...
Masked Lapwing
I always called these Lapwing Plovers, but apparently that’s not correct. Or not correct anymore. Or something. Anyway, they’re often found in pairs, fiercely defending their nest, which is actually just a small depression...
Brown Gerygone
Brown Gerygone, or Brown Warbler. Gerygones are Australian Warblers. Can you see him? About two thirds of the way to the right, and about a third of the way down.
Superb Fairy-Wren
I was thrilled to get these “family photos”. It wasn’t until I looked at them on my computer that I realised I had actually captured five birds, not the four I thought I had!
Comb-crested Jacana
Absolutely awful photo of an amazing bird – sometimes called the Jesus bird, because it “walks on water”. The feet are incredible! Better photos in this post.
