Crested Tern
My fifth new bird for today. Very hard to tell in the photos, but it’s a Crested Tern. One of the shots has a Silver Gull too.

Eastern Curlew
It’s a pity these are always against such an awful dull background! But I suppose that if they stand in the middle of vast open spaces it helps to blend in. Anyway, I’m sure...
Sacred Kingfisher
I think these are much better than my previous photos of Sacred Kingfishers. Such a lovely little bird.
Brahminy Kite
Not sure why I didn’t post this, but I found it checking my unattached images. Still, nice Kite 🙂

Bar-shouldered Dove

Australian Owlet-nightjar
Definitely a better photo than I had previously. This little guy is so cute, and so dependable! I believe there have been times when he hasn’t been at (t)his tree, but so many members...
